the market trends in a more effective manner and providing a better
representation of the increased equity stocks, market capitalization as
also to the new industry groups. As such, BSE launched on 27th May

BSE-200 Index

and non-specified lists of BSE were considered for inclusion in
the sample for `BSE-200'. The selection of companies was
primarily been done on the basis of current market capitalization
of the listed scrips. Moreover, the market activity of the
companies as reflected by the volumes of turnover and certain
fundamental factors were considered for the final selection of the
200 companies.
