"At a run rate of two-three indices per month, we will launch roughly 40 indices this year," said Asia Index managing director Ashutosh Singh on the sidelines of an event to launch four factor indices — BSE 500 Enhanced Value 50, BSE 500 Low Volatility 50, BSE 500 Momentum 50, and BSE 500 Quality 50.

Dinesh Iyer, product head, said that the pipeline of indices would be across categories — thematic, factor and broader market. While some are driven by asset management companies, some are internal, Iyer added.
