Nifty 50 Latest Sector Allocation
Here is the latest (April 30th, 2021) Nifty 50 Sector allocation which shows Financial sector is still leading the allocation with HDFC Bank, HDFC Ltd, Kotak Mahindra Bank & ICICI Bank being part of top 10 market cap companies in India. Information Technology (IT) sector has second largest allocation after financials due to stellar performance of IT giants like TCS and Infosys. Reliance Industries weightage in NIFTY 50 is same , however it is declining over past few months in a row, which led to Oil & Gas sector slipping to third position from second position (in Sept’20) in terms of sector allocation.
Market cap of Indusind Bak is incorrect.
