The '''BSE SENSEX''' (also known as the S&P Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index or simply  '''SENSEX''') is a [[Capitalization-weighted index|free-float market-weighted]] [[stock market index]] of 30 well-established and financially sound companies listed on the [[Bombay Stock Exchange]]. The 30 constituent companies which are some of the largest and most actively traded stocks, are representative of various [[industrial sector]]s of the Indian economy. Published since 1 January 1986, the S&P BSE SENSEX is regarded as the pulse of the domestic stock markets in India.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Sensex - Meaning, Milestones, Calculation |url=https://groww.in/p/what-is-sensex |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=Groww |language=en |archive-date=9 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240609194552/https://groww.in/p/what-is-sensex |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=BSE Sensex is now 25 |url=https://pib.gov.in/newsite/erelcontent.aspx?relid=56659 |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=[[Press Information Bureau]] |archive-date=10 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240610052610/https://pib.gov.in/newsite/erelcontent.aspx?relid=56659 |url-status=live }}</ref> The base value of the SENSEX was taken as ''100'' on 1 April 1979 and its base year as ''1978–79''.

== Etymology ==
The term Sensex was coined by [[Deepak Mohoni]], a stock market analyst in 1989.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/will-nelsons-magic-work-again-for-sensex-on-friday/articleshow/3339524.cms|title=Will Nelson's magic work again for Sensex on Friday?|newspaper=The Economic Times|first=Ranjit|last=Shinde|date=8 August 2008|accessdate=3 September 2021|archive-date=9 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240609194558/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/will-nelsons-magic-work-again-for-sensex-on-friday/articleshow/3339524.cms|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Money/LM4ixIhqgYmEoFEEE0kwON/He-coined-the-term-Sensex-and-he-now-wants-a-trademark-for-i.html|title=He coined the term Sensex and he now wants a trademark for it|first=Nesil|last=Staney|date=29 May 2008|website=Livemint|access-date=19 May 2020|archive-date=9 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240609195054/https://www.livemint.com/Money/LM4ixIhqgYmEoFEEE0kwON/He-coined-the-term-Sensex-and-he-now-wants-a-trademark-for-i.html|url-status=live}}</ref> BSE Sensitive Index then was at about 750 points. Sensex is a [[portmanteau]] of the words <u>Sens</u>itive and Ind<u>ex</u>.

==Calculation==

The BSE has some reviews and modifies its composition to be sure it reflects current market conditions. The index is calculated based on a free float capitalisation method, a variation of the market capitalisation method. Instead of using a company's outstanding shares it uses its [[Public float|float]], or shares that are readily available for trading. Free Floating capital implies total capitalization less Directors shareholding.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/feb/21bspec.htm|title=How the Sensex is calculated|access-date=12 November 2017|archive-date=25 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125015130/http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/feb/21bspec.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
As per free float capitalisation methodology, the level of index at any point of time reflects the free float market value of 30 constituent stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalisation of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by corporate actions, replacement of scrips. The index has increased by over twenty five times from June 1990 to the present. Using information from April 1979 onwards, the long-run rate of return on the S&P BSE SENSEX works  18.6% per annum.

''The following is a timeline on the rise of the SENSEX through Indian stock market history.''

*'''1000, 25 July 1990''' – On 25 July 1990, the SENSEX touched the four-digit figure for the first time and closed at 1,001 in the wake of a good monsoon and excellent corporate results.
*'''2000, 15 January 1992''' – On 15 January 1992, the SENSEX crossed the 2,000 mark and closed at 2,020 followed by the liberal economic policy initiatives undertaken, under the leadership of the then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao, by the then finance minister and former Prime Minister of India [[Manmohan Singh|Dr. Manmohan Singh]].
*'''3000, 29 February 1992''' – On 29 February 1992, the SENSEX surged past the 3,000 mark in the wake of the market-friendly budget announced by Manmohan Singh.
*'''4000, 30 March 1992''' – On 30 March 1992, the SENSEX crossed the 4,000 mark and closed at 4,091 on the expectations of a liberal export-import policy. It was then that the [[Harshad Mehta]] scam hit the markets and SENSEX witnessed unabated selling.
*'''5000, 11 October 1999''' – On 11 October 1999, the SENSEX crossed the 5,000 mark, as the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition won the majority in the 13th Lok Sabha election.<ref name="bemoneyaware">{{cite web |url=http://www.bemoneyaware.com/blog/ups-and-downs-of-sensex/ |title=Ups and Downs of Sensex |date=23 September 2012 |publisher=bemoneyaware.com |access-date=21 May 2013 |archive-date=25 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130325051701/http://www.bemoneyaware.com/blog/ups-and-downs-of-sensex/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
*'''6000, 11 February 2000''' – On 11 February 2000, the information technology boom helped the SENSEX to cross the 6,000 mark and hit an all-time high of 6,006 points. This record would stand for nearly four years, until 2 January 2004, when the SENSEX closed at 6,026.59 points.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arabnews.com/node/242589 |title=Funds Hope to Ride on the Boom |date=5 January 2004 |publisher=ArabNews |access-date=14 June 2013 |archive-date=6 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121206054200/http://arabnews.com/node/242589 |url-status=live }}</ref>
*'''7000, 21 June 2005''' – On 20 June 2005, the news of the settlement between the '''[[Dhirubhai Ambani#Reliance Industries after Dhirubhai Ambani's death|Ambani brothers]]''' boosted investor sentiments and the scrips of [[Reliance Industries|RIL]], [[Reliance Energy]], [[Reliance Capital]] and [[Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited|IPCL]] made huge gains. This helped the SENSEX crossed 7,000 points for the first time.
*'''8000, 8 September 2005''' – On 8 September 2005, the Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark 30-share index – the SENSEX – crossed the 8,000 level following brisk buying by foreign and domestic funds in early trading.

However, it was on 9 December 2005 that the SENSEX first closed at over 9,000 points.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/money/1001463/report-sensex-at-9k-bulls-on-cloud-9 |title=Sensex at 9k, bulls on Cloud 9 - Money |work=Daily News and Analysis |date=10 December 2005 |access-date=14 June 2013}}</ref>

==The SENSEX since 2006==

===May–December 2006===

On 22 May 2006, the SENSEX plunged by 1,100 points during intra-day trading, leading to the suspension of trading for the first time since 17 May 2004. The [[volatility (finance)|volatility]] of the SENSEX had caused investors to lose [[Indian rupee|₹]]6 [[lakh]] [[crore]] (US$131 billion) within seven trading sessions. The then Finance Minister of India, [[P. Chidambaram]], made an unscheduled press statement when trading was suspended to assure investors that nothing was wrong with the fundamentals of the economy, and advised retail investors to stay invested. When trading resumed after the reassurances of the [[Reserve Bank of India]] and the [[Securities and Exchange Board of India]] (SEBI), the SENSEX managed to move up 700 points, but still finished the session 457 points in the red.<ref name="rediff06">{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/money/2006/may/18spec.htm |title=The 10 Biggest Falls in Sensex History as of 2006 |work=Rediff.com |access-date=21 May 2013 |archive-date=10 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240610052629/https://www.rediff.com/money/2006/may/18spec.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

The SENSEX eventually recovered from the volatility, and on 16 October 2006, the SENSEX closed at an all-time high of 12,928.18 with an intra-day high of 12,953.76. This was a result of increased confidence in the economy and reports that India's manufacturing sector grew by 11.1% in August 2006.

*'''13,000, 30 October 2006''' – The SENSEX on 30 October 2006 crossed 13,000 mark for the first time, touching a peak of 13,039.36, before closing at 13,024.26 points. It took 135 days to reach 13,000 from 12,000, and 124 days to reach 13,000 from 12,500.
*'''14,000, 5 December 2006''' – The SENSEX on 5 December 2006 crossed 14,000 mark for the first time, after opening the day with a peak of 14,028 at 9.58&nbsp;am (IST).

===July–September 2007: Effects of the subprime crisis in U.S.===

*'''15,000, 6 July 2007'''- The SENSEX on 6 July 2007 crossed another milestone and reached a magic figure of 15,000. It took 7 months and one day after first reaching the 14,000 milestone to touch this historic milestone.

On 23 July 2007, the SENSEX touched a new high of 15,733 points. On 27 July 2007 the SENSEX witnessed a huge decline because of selling by [[Foreign Institutional Investor]]s and global cues to come back to 15,160 points by noon. Following global cues and heavy selling in the international markets, the BSE SENSEX fell by 615 points in a single day on 1 August 2007.<ref name="rediffOct08">{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/oct/24bcrisis10.htm |title=The 10 Biggest Falls in Sensex History as of October 2008 |work=Rediff.com |access-date=21 May 2013 |archive-date=21 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130821194954/http://www.rediff.com/money/2008/oct/24bcrisis10.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

*'''16,000, 19 September 2007'''- The SENSEX on 19 September 2007 crossed the 16,000 mark, closing at a historic peak of 16,322. The bull hits because of the rate cut of 50 bit/s in the discount rate by the Fed chief [[Ben Bernanke]].
*'''17,000, 26 September 2007'''- On 26 September 2007, the SENSEX crossed the 17,000 mark for the first time, creating a record for the second fastest 1000 point gain in just 5 trading sessions. It failed however to sustain the momentum and closed below 17,000. The SENSEX closed above 17,000 for the first time on the following day. Reliance group has been the main contributor in this bull run, contributing 256 points. This also helped Mukesh Ambani's net worth to grow to over ₹2 lakh crore ($50 billion). It was also during this record bull run that the SENSEX for the first time zoomed ahead of the '''Nikkei''' of Japan.

===October–December 2007: Participatory notes issue===

*'''18,000, 9 October 2007'''- The SENSEX crossed the 18,000 mark for the first time on 9 October 2007, gaining 788 points, to close at 18,280. The journey from 17,000 to 18,000 took just 8 trading sessions, which is the third fastest 1000-point rise in the history of the SENSEX.
*'''19,000, 15 October 2007'''- The SENSEX crossed the 19,000 mark for the first time on 15 October 2007, gaining 640 points, to close at 19,059. It took just 4 trading sessions for the SENSEX to move from 18,000 to 19,000. This is the fastest 1000-point rise ever for the index. In addition, the rise from 16,000 to 19,000 in 17 trading sessions sets a record for the fastest 3,000-point rally in the history of the SENSEX.

On 16 October 2007, [[SEBI]] (Securities & Exchange Board of India) proposed curbs on [[participatory notes]] which accounted for roughly 50% of [[Foreign Institutional Investor|FII]] investment in 2007. SEBI was not happy with P-notes because it was not possible to know who owned the underlying securities, and hedge funds acting through P-notes might therefore cause volatility in the Indian markets.

However the proposals of SEBI were not clear and this led to a knee-jerk crash when the markets opened on the following day (17 October 2007). Within a minute of opening trade, the SENSEX crashed by 1,744 points or about 9% of its value – the biggest intra-day fall in Indian stock markets in absolute terms until then. This led to the automatic suspension of trade for one hour. Finance Minister [[P. Chidambaram]] issued clarifications, in the meantime, that the government was not against FIIs and was not immediately banning PNs. After the market opened at 10:55&nbsp;am, the index staged a comeback and ended the day at 18715.82, down 336.04 from the last day's close.

However, this would not be the end of the volatility. The next day (18 October 2007), the SENSEX tumbled by 717.43 points – 3.83 per cent – to close at 17,998.39 points. The slide continued the next day (19 October 2007), when the SENSEX fell 438.41 points to settle at 17,559.98 to the end of the week, after touching the lowest level of that week at 17,226.18 during the day.

After detailed clarifications from the SEBI chief [[M. Damodaran]] regarding the new rules, the market made an 879-point gain on 23 October, thus signalling the end of the PN crisis.

*'''20,000, 11 December 2007'''- On 29 October 2007, the SENSEX crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time with a massive 734.5-point gain, but closed below the 20,000 mark. The SENSEX would close above the 20,000 mark for the first time on 11 December 2007. It took 42 days after reaching the 19,000 milestone to close above 20,000 points for the first time. The journey of the last 10,000 points was covered in just 483<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-187473252/market-watch-sensex-10k.html |title=Market Watch: Sensex @ 10K: up in 483 days, down in 193. &#124; AccessMyLibrary - Promoting library advocacy |publisher=AccessMyLibrary |access-date=14 June 2013}}</ref> sessions, compared to 7,297 sessions taken to touch the 10,000 mark from its base value of 100 points. In the second half of 2007 alone, the SENSEX reached six 1,000-point milestones.

===May 2009===

On 18 May 2009, the SENSEX surged up 2,110.79 points to close at 14,285.21, from its previous closing of 12,174.42, for its largest single day rally. Less than a month later, on 4 June 2009, the SENSEX would cross the 15,000 mark.

However, the SENSEX remained volatile during the summer of 2009. The SENSEX plunged by 869.65 points on 6 July 2009, the day of Union Budget presentation in Parliament on concerns over high fiscal deficit. This was the biggest Budget-day loss for the index.<ref name="bemoneyaware"/> On 17 August 2009, the SENSEX lost 626.71 points.

Once again, the SENSEX would recover from the volatility. On 7 September 2009, the SENSEX crossed the 16,000 mark, closing at 16,016.32 points. The index would gain 3,000 points over the next 12 months, as the SENSEX crossed the 19,000 mark on 13 September 2010, closing at 19,208.33 points.

*'''21,000, 5 November 2010''' - The SENSEX closed at 21,004.96, for its first close above the 21,000 mark. It would take nearly three years for the index to make its next close above this level.
*'''22,000, 24 March 2014''' - The SENSEX closed at 22,055.48, for its first close above the 22,000 mark. For the first time, the SENSEX zoomed ahead of the '''Hang Seng Index'''.

*'''26,000, 7 July 2014''' - The SENSEX closed at 26,123.55, for its first close above the 26,000 mark,
*'''27,000, 2 September 2014''' - The SENSEX closed at 27019.39, for its first close above the 27,000 mark,
*'''28,000, 5 November 2014''' - The SENSEX crossed 28,000 mark, on 5 November 2014.<ref name="indianexpress.com"/> This is the seventh 1000-point milestone the index has crossed in 2014, breaking the six 1000-point record set in 2007.
