93 Companies Have Exited Sensex in 40 Years

The Sensex, which is like a list of the top 30 companies in India, has seen a lot of changes over the past 40 years.

Since 1985, 93 companies have been part of the Sensex, but only 30 are there now.

This means 63 companies have left the Sensex for various reasons like not doing well, merging with other companies, or becoming less valuable.

The biggest changes happened between 1995 and 2000, when 18 companies left.

Now, the changes are slower, with only a few companies leaving every five years.

The types of companies in the Sensex have also changed.

In 1991, almost all were manufacturing companies, but now less than half are.

The gap between the biggest and smallest companies in the Sensex has also gotten smaller.

Experts think that new technologies and startups might make the Sensex change faster in the future.
