A comparison of the Auto and FMCG sectors with the Nifty50

The process of choosing a set of stocks that represent the entire market or a particular industry or market segment results in the creation of a stock market index. The purpose of stock market indexes is to represent the general behaviour of equity markets. The Nifty 50 is a well-diversified 50-stock index that serves as a representation of the performance of the Indian economy by including all significant economic sectors. It is employed in many different contexts, including index funds, index-based derivatives, and fund portfolio bench marking. This paper’s goal is to analyse the Nifty 50 in relation to the Auto and FMCG industries. The analysis has taken into consideration data from the pharmaceutical, financial services, and Nifty 50 sectors spanning twelve years, from 2012 to 2023.
