Below the Comment on NSE to introduce 4 new indices in capital, F&O segments by Mr Shrey Jain, Founder and CEO SAS Online - India's Deep Discount Broker

New indices tracking promising themes such as manufacturing, infrastructure and healthcare should offer more investment avenues to savvy investors. Mutual Funds may come out with exchange traded funds tracking these indices, which should act as a low-cost investment avenue offering market returns. Nifty500 Multicap India Manufacturing 50:30:20 index comprising stocks of 75 manufacturing companies of varying sizes can create value for investors in the long term.

Nifty Mid Small Healthcare index and Nifty500 Multicap Infrastructure 50:30:20 index can complement the existing large-cap biased indices such as Nifty Healthcare and Nifty infrastructure. Products based on these indices can help investors invest in shares of companies that are under-owned in most mutual funds and other institutional portfolios.
It will be interesting to watch out for specifications of the futures and options contracts on these indices.
