NSE launched Nifty 100 in Dec 2005. Figures before that use NSE's back-calculated history: today's rules applied to the past, chosen with that past in view. Charts mark the launch.

Returns

Total return counts dividends reinvested; price return does not. Since 2003, dividends added about 1.6 percentage points a year. Returns over more than a year are a year, compounded.

Nifty 100: growth of 100

Weekly, from Jan 2003, log scale: equal slopes are equal rates of growth. Drag the range below the chart to start anywhere; both lines restart at 100.

How to read it. The gap between the two lines is what dividends were worth. It widens slowly and never closes.

How to read it. Zero is a new high. The depth of each dip is what a holder sat through; its width is how long getting back took.

What holding it was like

From every day in its history, what holding Nifty 100 for a fixed span would have returned a year. Over five years the middle outcome was 13.8% a year; the worst −0.8% and the best 47.0%; no five-year span lost money.

Total return a year, %, over every span of that length starting on any session. Spans overlap, so 'separate spans' is how many non-overlapping ones the history holds: the longer the span, the fewer truly independent readings behind each figure.

Valuation

NSE's own price-to-earnings, price-to-book and dividend yield, at each month-end since Dec 2005. Today's P/E of 19.1 is near the bottom of its range since NSE moved to consolidated earnings in March 2021. Price to book, 2.87, is near the bottom of its range over the full history.

Price to earnings

Month-ends, as NSE publishes them.

How to read it. Higher is dearer. Before March 2021 NSE used standalone earnings, so readings on either side of the line are not strictly comparable.

How to read it. Higher is dearer. Book value has no accounting break, so the whole history compares.
