These 50 stocks are chosen from various sectors of the 1600 stocks listed on the NSE. Therefore the composition of this index is rebalanced frequently according to the market capitalization of companies. The weightage of each company is based on the free-float market cap.
Some current Nifty 50 companies and their sectors

- Login into your Zerodha Kite account using your credentials (ID, Password & Pin).
- Click on the “Watchlist” icon on the bottom left corner of the app.
- Select a Fresh watchlist to add all the 50 stocks. The maximum limit of 1 watchlist is 50 stocks hence all the 50 companies of the Nifty could be added in a single watchlist.
- Click on the “Search & add” tab above the watchlist and type the name of the company that you want to add.
- After typing in the name, 2 options of the company will appear in the search results. One from (NSE), and the other from (BSE). Select the “Plus” sign on the right side of the script that you want to add.
- After this the company will appear on the watchlist. Repeat this process until you have added all the 50 companies of the Nifty.
To add the stocks in the Web Application
To add the Nifty50 stocks in the Web application of Kite, the same above steps have to be followed.
The only difference is the layout of the wishlist in the Desktop application.
- The Watchlist is placed on the left side of the terminal.
- Choose a number ranging from 1-5 to select a watchlist.
- Once a fresh wish list is opened, repeat the same process to add the stocks to it.
By following the above-mentioned steps, you can create your own watchlist. You can view all the Nifty 50 stocks in one place conveniently with the Kite application. The same process can be followed to add other stocks from various indices, for example, “Sensex” or “BankNifty”.
There is no automated method in Zerodha to include all the Nifty 50 stocks on a watchlist. You will have to manually add each of the 50 stocks in a separate watchlist one by one. You will have to make a list of all the stocks present in a particular index and then add the consequently.
How Nifty IT option trading can be done in zerodha?
Currently, there are no derivative tools available to trade in Nifty IT. However, you can trade options of Nifty and BankNifty. You can trade in weekly as well as monthly Options and Futures of either of them. Also if you wish to take exposure in the Nifty IT index indirectly, you can buy Options of individual IT stocks of the NiftyIT like TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc.
Do I manually need to add those 50 companies? (Since Nifty 50 is a basket of top 50 companies and they keep on updating automatically based on the market cap. So I wanted to add the basket rather than the individual companies itself)
The easiest way to monitor all Nifty 50 stocks in Zerodha Kite is to add the NIFTY 50 index directly to your watchlist instead of adding stocks one by one.
When you open the index, it automatically displays all 50 constituent stocks with live prices and updates itself whenever NSE makes any changes, making it the most convenient and efficient way to track the entire Nifty 50. I hope this helps answer the query!
