The NSE Sector Indices page shows 12 major NSE sector index charts on a single screen. Each card displays the index's last closing price, period return, and a gradient sparkline with Y-axis price labels. All charts switch period simultaneously with one click.
This page answers one question at a glance: which sectors are rising and which are falling over your chosen timeframe? Use it as the first stop in a top-down workflow before drilling into stocks.

Six period options control the historical window for all 12 charts simultaneously:
| Period | Window | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 1M | 30 days | Short-term momentum — which sectors are moving right now |
| 3M | 90 days | Intermediate trend — confirming sector rotation in progress |
| 6M | 180 days | Medium-term leadership — half-year sector ranking |
| 1Y | 365 days (default) | Annual leadership — the standard IBD-style relative strength window |
| 3Y | ~3 years | Secular trends — which sectors have structurally outperformed |
| 5Y | ~5 years | Long-cycle view — full bull/bear cycle performance |
The sparkline uses a green gradient when the sector is up for the period, and a red gradient when it is down. The gradient fades from darker at the top to transparent at the bottom, making it easy to identify bullish vs bearish sectors at a glance across all 12 cards.
Three price labels appear on the right edge of each chart: the period high (top), midpoint (middle), and period low (bottom). These tell you the absolute price range, not just the direction. A sector near its period high with a rising line is in a breakout zone.
The "Data as of" date next to the period buttons shows the most recent trading day loaded. All data is sourced from NSE archives and updated nightly. There is no intraday price — these are end-of-day closes only.
The Sector Indices page is most powerful as Step 1 of a top-down workflow. Use this sequence:
All 12 index closing prices are fetched nightly from the NSE archives (ind_close_all_DDMMYYYY.csv) after market close. The pipeline runs automatically every weekday evening and stores data in Finmagine's database.
| Item | Detail |

| Data source | NSE India official archives (free, public) |
| Update frequency | Nightly, weekdays only |
| Price type | Official NSE closing index value (not intraday) |
