- In how many Samvat years did the Nifty 50 rise?

- Samvat is the Hindu calendar year used by many Indian traders. It begins around Diwali, when the exchanges hold a Muhurat session. A Samvat year therefore runs from one Diwali to the next, unlike the April to March financial year.
How to read this page
A Samvat year starts at Diwali. The exchanges hold a one-hour Muhurat session that evening. Here a year is the change in the Nifty 50's close from one Muhurat session to the next, so each year is about twelve months long but not exactly, because Diwali moves on the calendar.
The Samvat number is the Gregorian year of that Diwali plus 57. The dated events around Budget days and election results are on the market days page.
Limits to keep in mind
- Price index only: dividends are not included.
- Years are counted only where both Muhurat-session records are held.
