NSE launches Nifty 50 Net Total Return Index

NSE Indices launched a new variant of the Nifty 50 index named Nifty 50 Net Total Return (NTR) index.

The Nifty 50 Net Total Return index aims to measure the performance of the Nifty 50 index considering that the cash dividends and the gains from bonus issues are reinvested in the Nifty 50 index after applying relevant withholding tax and capital gains tax respectively.

Nifty 50 TRI - Total Return Index - Nifty 50 PRI + dividends. Current Nifty TRI - 30646.

Nifty 50 NTR - Net Total Return Index - Nifty 50 TRI minus withholding tax and capital gains tax. Data to be updated.

The Nifty 50 Net Total Return index will be computed in two currencies Indian rupee (INR) and US dollar (USD).

The newly launched index will appeal to international investors looking to invest in the Indian equity market, giving a better picture of Nifty 50  real returns.

RBI NEW GS 2073 Bond

The government plans to sell Rs 10,000 crore ($1.2 billion) of a 2073 bond on November 3, 2023, according to the Reserve Bank of India.

Insurers in India are lining up to grab a share of the nation’s debut 50-year bond offering, highlighting the growing heft of long-term investors in the nation’s $1 trillion debt market.

The yield on the 50-year note is likely to be close to its 40-year counterpart, which was sold at about 7.54 per cent last week.
