While the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE do not offer a sectoral index exclusively for textiles, the Definedge Equal Weighted Textile Index, comprising 52 textile-related stocks, serves as a useful benchmark.
Definedge Textile Index vs Nifty500: The ratio chart
To analyse the relative performance of textile stocks against the broader market, the Definedge Textile Index was compared with the Nifty500, a comprehensive index that tracks a wide range of Indian stocks, including mid-cap and small-cap segments.
The key tool in this analysis is the ratio chart, which compares the performance of two assets by plotting their relative price movements over time.

The ratio chart has delivered a significant bullish signal: the Golden Cross formation. This marks the first occurrence of a Golden Cross between these indices since 2022, a strong technical indicator of bullish momentum.
A Golden Cross occurs when the short-term moving average (50-day) crosses above the long-term moving average (200-day), signalling potential outperformance. This suggests that the Definedge Textile Index may outperform the broader Nifty500 index, indicating the possibility of a substantial upside in textile stocks.
