What is Nifty Realty?
The Nifty Realty index is a sectoral index that tracks the performance of the most liquid and large real estate companies listed on the NSE. It represents India’s real estate and property development industry, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure-focused companies. The index consists of 10 stocks that reflect the dynamics of the real estate market, including demand cycles, regulatory changes, and interest rate movements. Nifty Realty serves as a useful benchmark for investors and fund managers focused on capitalising on growth opportunities in urbanisation, housing, and infrastructure development.
It provides a focused view into the performance of India’s real estate sector, which is closely linked to GDP growth, policy reforms (such as RERA and affordable housing schemes), and credit availability. Given its cyclical nature, the index is suitable for tactical allocation rather than long-term passive holding unless aligned with specific investment themes.
Nifty Realty selection criteria
The index comprises 10 companies selected from the Nifty 500 universe based on market capitalisation and liquidity. Eligible companies must be classified under the realty sector and meet criteria for minimum listing history, average daily turnover, and free-float market capitalisation. The index aims to include stocks that are actively traded and represent major realty players across India.
Stocks are evaluated and rebalanced semi-annually in March and September. Only those meeting ongoing eligibility and liquidity thresholds continue in the index, while others may be replaced to maintain relevance. Sector exposure is not capped within the index since all constituents belong to the same industry, but weights are managed to ensure diversification.
How is the Nifty Realty index calculated?
The index is calculated using the free-float market capitalisation-weighted method. This means only shares available for trading in the market are considered in weight calculations. The base date is December 2006, with a base value of 1000. Index values are updated in real-time during trading hours using live market prices of constituent stocks. Weights of individual companies may be capped during rebalancing to avoid dominance by any single firm. NSE Indices Ltd maintains and reviews the index semi-annually. The free-float methodology ensures the index reflects actual market performance and investable exposure within the real estate sector.
