The investors' wealth measured by the total BSE market capitalisation declined by Rs 7,04,256 crore to Rs 95,28,536 crore on August 24 as against Rs 102,32,792 crore on Friday. Market capitalisation is the total dollar market value of all of a company's outstanding shares. Market capitalisation is calculated by multiplying a company's shares outstanding by the current market price of one share. The investment community uses this figure to determine a company's size, as opposed to sales or total asset figures.

The market capitaliastion of all listed companies on the Bombay Stock Exchange hit a record Rs 100 trillion (lakh crore) mark on November 28, 2014. The landmark came on a day when the Sensex hit a record high of 28,822 in intraday trade. The total market cap of all BSE listed companies had crossed the Rs. 10 lakh crore mark nearly 11 years ago in 2003. Of the overall stock market wealth, promoters command nearly 50 per cent share, while foreign investors own close to 20 per cent and the rest is shared between institutional and retail investors from India.
Market capitalisation is used to compare companies in terms of their market value. Nearly 5,500 companies are listed on the BSE, but the top 100 companies make up for over 70 per cent in market capitalization. To gauge BSE's standing, its market cap should be seen in the global context. In dollar terms, BSE's market cap is now nearly $1.7 trillion (at Rs 60 per dollar). That is roughly one tenth the size of the New York Stock Exchange, which has a market cap of nearly $18.8 trillion according to World Federation of Exchanges data.
Market caps of domestic exchanges generally mirror the GDP of their economies. India's GDP is estimated at around $1.9 trillion. The size of US' economy is estimated at $16.8 trillion. On June 3, 2015, the market capitalisation of BSE-listed slipped to Rs 98,83,222 crore at the close of the trading session. On August 25, the market capitalization of 2,827listed companies on the BSE was Rs 96,51,311 crore. BSE is slightly ahead of the National Stock Exchange in terms of market cap, though the volume of shares traded on the NSE is much higher.
