What you see
A ranked list of every NSE sectoral index by performance, with toggle for 1D / 1W / 1M / 3M / 6M / 1Y windows. For each sector:
- Return over the selected window
- Current PE (sector aggregate)
- Number of constituents
- A sparkline showing the recent trend
- A click-through to the sector detail page
What sectoral performance tells you
Three patterns to watch:
1. Sector rotation
When a sector that's been lagging starts to outperform — or a leading sector starts to fade — money is rotating. The 1M and 3M windows are best for spotting this.
If Nifty Metal is up 18% over 3M while Nifty Auto is up 2%, that's rotation. The question is whether you ride the metal momentum or position for autos catching up.
2. Sector concentration
If the top three sectors over 1W are all up >5% and the bottom three are all down >3%, the market is being driven by a narrow set of themes. Broad-based rallies show in shallower spreads across sectors.
3. Sector valuation
The PE column lets you spot expensive sectors. Compare a sector's current PE to its historical median (drill into the sector detail page for the chart). A sector trading at 50× when its 10-year median is 30× either has a great story or it's stretched.
The sector detail page
Each sector page opens with the same structure as the main page but scoped to one industry. Highlights:
- Constituents table — every stock in the sector, sortable by return, PE, ROE
- Sub-industry breakdown — finer-grained classification (e.g. within Auto: two-wheelers, four-wheelers, commercial vehicles, auto components)
- Sector-level conviction summary — band/stance distribution across the constituents
The conviction summary is the underused gem here. A sector where 60% of constituents are bullish-band is in a different state than one where 70% are bearish-band — and that signal often arrives before the sector index moves.
Using sectors as a screen-input
A useful workflow: pick the top three sectors by 3M performance. Open each detail page. Sort constituents by recent return. The laggards within leading sectors are often the catch-up trades.
