Companies that fit in the below mentioned criteria are eligible to be a part of BSE A group companies.
1) A company should be listed on the BSE for a minimum period of 3 months. However, there are certain exceptions.
2) The company should be traded for minimum 98% of the trading days in last quarter.
3) The list of companies is further screened for investigation & compliance by department of surveillance and supervision (DOSS).
Now, these eligible companies have to undergo a scoring test. This is the scoring mechanism for eligible companies:
1) Last quarter average free float market capitalization of a company (50%)
2) Last quarter average turnover (BSE + NSE) of a company (25%)
3) Corporate governance (10%) (Source of information - latest annual report submitted by a company)
4) Compliance monitoring (10%)
5) Responsible investment (5%) (Source of information - latest annual report submitted by a company and its website)
In short, BSE group A represents companies that have high liquidity and are traded actively on the exchange.

Within the BSE A Group, the top gainers were GODFREY PHILLIPS (up 20.0%) and RATNAMANI METALS (up 16.2%). On the other hand, GE POWER INDIA (down 10.0%) and FUTURE RETAIL (down 4.7%) were among the top losers.
Well, it depends on what your goals are.
Having said that, the two key indices to track are the BSE Sensex which contains the list of BSE 30 stocks and the NSE Nifty which contains the list of NSE 50 stocks.
However, these two indices are considered to be too narrow by some, since they only track 30 and 50 stocks, respectively.
For broader tracking, you could use the BSE 200, BSE 500 or even the NSE 500 index.
Some popular market cap based indices include BSE Smallcap index and BSE Midcap index, among others.
It depends on one's specific interests and investment goals.
Some popular sectoral indices to track in addition to the broader market indices are Nifty IT index, Nifty realty index, Nifty metal index and Nifty FMCG index.
It's important to research and understand the industries and companies included in each sectoral index to make informed investment decisions.
Although the benchmark indices opened flat, they traded positive throughout the session and ultimately closed green.
