Question

Where do I get the BSE Realty index commencement date

Answer 1

1978 can be described as the base year of the BSE, with its points listing starting at 100. By 1986, a weighted methodology for measuring market capitalization of the 30 biggest companies in India spread over 12 different sectors gave birth to the BSE SENSEX and by 1994, the conversion from an open floor outcry trading system to an electronic trading system was made, making the BSE one of the earliest exchanges to use the electronic trading platform.
