Index time machine

Who was actually in the index in a given month — rebuilt from every inclusion and exclusion notice, not from today’s list. Available for the NIFTY 50, NIFTY Next 50 and NIFTY 100.

This matters more than it sounds: judging a strategy on today’s NIFTY 50 quietly assumes you knew in advance which companies would still be there. Measured over 2012 to 2026, the index itself returned about 11% a year while today’s 50 members, held back through history, returned about 19% — the gap is pure hindsight.
