What are BSE and NSE?

BSE is short for the ‘Bombay Stock Exchange’. Founded in 1875, BSE is the first and one of the largest securities markets based out of Mumbai in India. NSE is short for the ‘National Stock Exchange’. Founded in 1972, it offers a country-wide stock market similar to BSE. While BSE is older, NSE is larger with greater daily trades and a higher turnover rate.

What are Sensex and Nifty?

While BSE and NSE are stock markets, both Sensex and Nifty are stock market indices. A stock market index summarises the movements of the market in real-time. A stock market index is created by grouping together similar kinds of stock. Sensex, which stands for ‘Stock Exchange Sensitive Index’, is the stock market index for the Bombay Stock Exchange. Nifty stands for ‘National Stock Exchange Fifty’ and is the index for the National Stock Exchange.
