NCDEX Launches NDEX and FINNDEX Equity Indices to Enter Equity Markets
NCDEX, formerly a commodities exchange, has launched two equity indices, NDEX and FINNDEX, marking its entry into equity and derivatives markets. NDEX tracks 20 large, liquid Indian stocks from the top 60 NSE-listed companies, while FINNDEX covers 15 financial sector stocks excluding insurers. Both indices use a multi-factor methodology combining free-float market capitalisation, trading activity, beta, and volatility, with individual stock weights capped at 15%. They will be reviewed and rebalanced semiannually, supporting NCDEX's diversification into a multi-segment exchange.
