BSE may enter Nifty 50 in the September 2026 reshuffle as Wipro exits, driven by BSEs strong gains and Wipros decline, with passive inflows estimated at 639 million dollars
BSE Set for entry in Nifty 50
The Nifty 50 index will likely witness a major reshuffle in the September 2026 rejig, with the inclusion of BSE, while Wipro may exit. If that happens, it will lead to an inflow of $639 million, according to a Moneycontrol report citing an analysis of Quiddity Advisors.
BSE shares surged 60 per cent over the past year, marking a sharp rebound in India’s oldest exchange. Earlier, it hit its all-time high, crossing Rs 4000 per share. The revival comes on the back of rising trading activities, retail participation and a resurgence in its derivatives business, the MC report added.
In comparison, Wipro fell by 24 per cent during the same duration, amid AI and market pressure. AI is seen as a major disruptor of the traditional IT industry, with emerging models challenging SaaS services.
An index reshuffle is triggered only when at least one eligible company’s Average Float Market Capitalisation (AFMC) exceeds 1.5 times the AFMC of the smallest constituent in the index. According to Quiddity Advisors analyst Janaghan Jeyakumar as quoted by MC, BSE currently meets this requirement, with its AFMC standing at more than 1.5 times that of Wipro, making Wipro the most likely candidate for exclusion from the index. Based on expectations of a single replacement, estimated one-way passive inflows into the NIFTY 50 could reach around $639 million.
The Nifty 50 is India’s benchmark stock market index that tracks the performance of 50 of the country’s largest and most liquid companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
The MC report added that a second reshuffle in the Nifty 50 by September 2026 appears improbable for now. According to Quiddity Advisors, TVS Motor Company would have to significantly outperform Adani Enterprises — currently the next likely candidate for exclusion — to trigger another change. The brokerage estimates TVS Motor’s average stock price during the remaining reference period would need to surge to around Rs 4,757, nearly 40 per cent higher than current levels.
