Nifty Microcap 250 Index
As of May 30, 2025
I've been taking a close look at the Nifty Microcap 250 index, and it's quite a fascinating segment of the market. This index is specifically designed by NSE Indices to capture the performance of 250 micro-cap stocks. These are the companies selected right after the Nifty 500 constituents, essentially representing the next frontier of listed companies based on their average full market capitalization.
My analysis is based on the Total Returns Index (TRI) variant, which I believe gives a more complete picture as it includes dividend returns. The core weighting methodology is based on Free Float Market Capitalization, ensuring that the index reflects the market's tradable shares rather than the entire outstanding share capital.
Key Index Characteristics & Performance
Here are my key takeaways from the index's vital statistics. I find these numbers crucial for understanding its risk-return profile.
Total Return (1 Year)
Total Return (5 Yr CAGR)
Total Return (Since Inception)
P/E Ratio
P/B Ratio
Dividend Yield
Std. Deviation (1 Year)
Beta (vs NIFTY 50)
Index Performance Over Time
Looking at the historical performance chart, the growth trajectory, especially in recent years, is remarkable. It highlights the high-growth, high-volatility nature inherent in the micro-cap space. The chart below visualizes the index's journey since its base date.
Portfolio Composition
To really understand what drives this index, I dug into its composition. The portfolio is well-diversified but shows a significant tilt towards certain sectors, which is typical for this market segment. Below, you can switch between the sector breakdown and the top individual holdings.
Sector Representation (% Weight)
The index has a heavy concentration in Capital Goods and Financial Services. This tells me that the index's performance is closely tied to industrial and economic cycles. The diversity across 18 sectors, however, provides a good degree of risk mitigation.
Top 10 Constituents by Weightage
Even though there are over 250 stocks, the top 10 constituents make up a significant portion of the index. As you can see, no single company dominates, with the top holding, LMW Ltd., having a weight of just under 1.5%. This is a key feature of a broad-based index. See the full list here.
