Last level as of 2 Nov 2026, 09:53 IST (delayed, educational).
Nifty 50 is NSE’s flagship equity index. It tracks 50 of the largest, most liquid companies listed on the National Stock Exchange, weighted mainly by free-float market capitalisation. When people say “the market is up today,” they often mean Nifty 50.
How to read it
A free-float index gives more weight to companies with more shares available for public trading. Constituents and weights are reviewed by NSE Indices on a published calendar. PaisaTrade shows a delayed educational level, not a futures or options ticket.

FAQs
Is this Nifty 50 quote live?
It is a delayed educational snapshot, slightly behind the exchange. It is not your broker’s official LTP and not a buy or sell call.
How is Nifty 50 different from Sensex?
Nifty 50 is an NSE 50-stock index. Sensex is a BSE 30-stock index. They often move together because many large companies sit in both, but the lists and weights are not identical.
