Mumbai, October 23, 2025: BSE Index Services Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), has announced the launch of its latest offering — the BSE Multicap Consumption (50:30:20) Index.
This newly introduced index is designed to capture the performance of companies representing India’s dynamic consumption sector. It includes the top 100 stocks drawn from the ‘Consumer Discretionary’ and ‘Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)’ segments within the BSE’s sectoral classification.
Derived from the BSE 500 Index, the Multicap Consumption Index follows a Float-Adjusted Market Capitalization methodology, with a base value of 1,000 and a base date of December 19, 2005. The index undergoes semi-annual reconstitution in June and December.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Ashutosh Singh, Managing Director and CEO, said:
“The BSE Multicap Consumption Index provides a comprehensive reflection of India’s resilient consumption growth across market capitalizations — a key theme consistently reinforced by government initiatives and policy measures. Tailored for investors and asset managers, it serves as a strong benchmark and a practical tool to access a diversified portfolio of consumption-driven companies.”
The index can be utilized to design passive investment products such as ETFs and Index Funds, and to evaluate the performance of India’s consumption sector. It is also suitable for benchmarking PMS strategies, mutual fund schemes, and fund portfolios.
With this addition, BSE continues to expand its suite of thematic indices, offering investors broader access to market opportunities and deeper insights into India’s evolving consumption landscape.
