The Housing Finance Index was introduced by the index services arm of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to track the performance of companies in India’s housing finance sector. Derived from the broader BSE 1000 Index, it includes 11 key housing finance firms with varying weightages. The index serves as an important benchmark for financial products like ETFs, mutual funds, and portfolio management services. With a base value of 1,000 and a base date of June 22, 2015, it is rebalanced semi-annually. This initiative enhances market transparency and provides investors with a focused sectoral performance indicator.
