To be eligible, a stock must be listed on NSE, part of NIFTY 500, and belong to the media sector. It should have a minimum 90% trading frequency over six months and a listing history of at least six months. If eligible stocks fall below 10, additional selections come from the top 800 ranked stocks. IPOs meeting criteria for three months qualify.
