Purpose of INDEX file

I know that 'portupgrade' uses the INDEX file. What I am not sure of, is
if I need the file if I am not using 'portupgrade'. I use 'portmanager'
which claims it does not require the INDEX file. If I do not need it, then
I assume it is safe to not bother building it or fetching one.
Does the INDEX file serve any other purpose?
