Correct Answer: A
Detailed Solution
The correct answer is 25 companies.
BSE-GREENEX is an equity index designed to track the performance of listed companies selected on parameters such as carbon-emissions performance, free-float market capitalisation and market turnover.
It represented one of India's early market-based initiatives to promote green investing and measure the performance of relatively carbon-efficient companies.
Current Status (2026): The current update is important for this question. The presently available BSE GREENEX methodology/factsheet describes the index as comprising the top 20 companies selected from the BSE-100.
