Frequently Asked Questions

The PE ratio (Price-to-Earnings ratio) of Nifty India Defence measures how much investors are paying per unit of index earnings. It is calculated by dividing the index price by the aggregate earnings per share of all constituents. A higher PE means investors are paying more for each rupee of earnings.
