BSE PSU Index

BSE - Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) Index is a stock index that tracks the performance of the listed PSU stocks on the Exchange. It is a suitable benchmark for the Central Government to monitor its wealth on the bourses.

The base date for the BSE-PSU Index is 1st February 1999 and the base value for the BSE PSU Index has been set at 1000 to ensure adequacy in terms of daily index movement.

For inclusion in BSE PSU index, Public Sector Undertaking refers to any undertaking wherein the Central Government holding is equal to or more than 51%. Since BSE PSU index is a subset of BSE-500 index, scrips that form part of BSE-500 index are automatically included in BSE PSU index.
