Example figures, not today's rates.

How we calculated this: we read the daily index closes in our index table for the 365 days to 12 October 2026. Each percentage is the later close divided by the reference close, minus 1. Our Nifty 50 closes go back to 24 September 2025 and our SENSEX closes to 4 October 2024, so both cover the full 365 days, and each row compares closes on the dates shown.

The Nifty 50 closed at 22,363.35 on 12 October, 0.59 percent above its low and 15.1 percent below its closing high of 26,328.55 on 2 January 2026. SENSEX closed at 71,924.68 on 12 October, 0.46 percent above its low.

Who this affects

Index levels are a reference for anyone who follows the market, including people who own index funds or exchange traded funds that track these indices. A closing low describes what the index did on one day. It does not show what any fund, portfolio or stock returned.

Readers who want to check the figures can compare them with the closing tables on the NSE and BSE websites, linked in the sources. Our table and chart use the same closes, so the two should match. The Nifty 50 page and the SENSEX page on this site show the same index series.

Common mistakes

  • Reading a 52-week low as a signal about the next session. It describes a past close only.
  • Mixing intraday levels with closing levels. A 52-week closing low compares closes only, so an intraday low can differ.
  • Treating the Nifty 50 and SENSEX as one index. They track different stocks and have different base values.
