The Sensex’s history started in 1986, many years ago. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) made the decision to construct an index during this period to monitor the performance of the most well-known stocks in the nation. The Sensitive indicator, sometimes known as the Sensex, became the name for this indicator.

The Sensex encountered its fair share of difficulties when it was developing. A variety of factors, including the state of the economy, company performance, political stability, and world events, have an impact on the stock market, making it a dynamic and ever-changing environment. In times of economic turbulence like the 1991 financial crisis and the 2008 global recession, the Sensex had to remain stable. However, it also reached new heights while the economy was expanding and stable.

But the Sensex was more than simply a number that appeared on a screen or in the newspaper. It contained the hopes and ambitions of numerous people and organizations. It stood for economic expansion, job possibilities, and the production of riches. An increase in the Sensex inspired optimism and joy, while a fall in the index raised red flags and advised prudence.
