Firstly , download and have a closer look at the data library -refereed by Sri ,above.
I think that will satisfy your requirement.
But, there is one problem. The data is up to 30 June 2013, last time I checked. I think they update it every 6-month. Not sure, whether they have updated up to 31 Dec 2013. Even such there is a gap from 1 Jan -18 Feb 2014. If this period is the problem, I might be able to help you.

If you clearly specify the type of data you are looking at ( daily OHLC, or ....company -wise daily or .... )and the period , there are ways to find out.

Why don't you download this data library ( from the link indicated above ), and find out for yourself ?

Now, SRi has given this link more than 24 hours ago. It won't cost any money, and it doesn't take much time to download, since it is in compressed form ,

Still you have not looked at the data , and asking other people ,whether that data help you ! Can't imagine how you are going to manage your investments !!!
