Say Hello To Nifty Indices – NSE Rebranding

India Index Services & Products Limited (IISL) which is a group company of NSE and India’s leading provider of indices have rebranded all the existing indices. You won’t have to refer to indices on NSE as CNX anymore. NSE has rebranded their indices and now they will all be referred to as “Nifty Indices”. NSE is leveraging the famous “NIFTY” to give recognition to the lesser known indices by applying a prefix to each and every existing index. The move is intended to enhance public acceptability. The term NIFTY is famous in India and internationally, so it has been used to leverage on that advantage and brand all the other indices which so far have been ignored by participants in the Indian stock market.
