Nifty is an Index of 50 shares introduced by National Stock Exchange of India, it contains 50 major company's shares trading in stock exchange. The name NIFTY itself contains 2 words `National` and `FIFTY` they word 50 is used because of 50 shares in it from 24 sectors like pharma, cements, steel, FMGC, petro.... and so on. So Nifty figure is calculated on the bases of 50 shares in it which NSE shuffles it time to time as per company performance. An index is basically an indicator. It gives you the basic idea weather most of the stocks/shares are moving up or down so according investors can make position in stock market.
National stock exchange is the biggest and the most popular stock exchange in the country. There are other stock exchanges in country like Bombay stock exchange, Delhi stock exchange, Bangalore stock exchange but they are not popular due to low trading in them. So most of the traders prefer trading in NSE or BSE as they purchase or sell share whenever they feel like.
