What holding it was like
From every day in its history, what holding Nifty 50 for a fixed span would have returned a year. Over five years the middle outcome was 13.6% a year; the worst −1.0% and the best 47.7%; 0% of five-year spans 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 Jan 1999. Today's P/E of 19.3 is near the bottom of its range since NSE moved to consolidated earnings in March 2021. Price to book, 2.78, 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.

Price to book

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