April 22, 2025* — Today marks the 29th anniversary of the Nifty 50, India’s benchmark equity index that has stood as a reflection of the country’s economic evolution since its launch on April 22, 1996.

Comprising 50 of the nation’s leading companies across 15 sectors, the Nifty 50 has delivered a strong 12.93% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) since inception (as of April 21, 2025). More than just a domestic indicator, it enjoys significant global recognition — with 60 ETFs and index funds worldwide tracking its performance and managing assets worth approximately Rs 4.4 lakh crore (about USD 52 billion).
