What are broad market indices? 

Broad market indices, also called market indices, are utilized to monitor the performance of a collection of stocks that closely mirror the overall stock market. They generally consist of large, liquid stocks listed on the stock exchange. They serve as a benchmark for measuring the performance of the stock market or portfolios such as mutual fund investments. In many broad-based indexes, companies are weighted based on their market value. This means that larger companies carry more weight in determining the index price compared to smaller ones. For instance, in the Nifty-50 index, Cipla, a major pharmaceutical company, has a significant impact, while smaller companies like Natco Pharma have less influence due to their lower market capitalization.
