The Index Maintenance Sub-Committee (Equity) of NSE Indices said the reshuffle follows periodic review norms for broad market indices. BSE’s inclusion is based on its higher six-month average free-float market capitalisation, which stood at Rs 1.40 trillion.
This is at least 1.5 times the corresponding figure for Wipro, the smallest constituent being replaced, which had an average free-float market capitalisation of Rs 55,930 crore.
The exchange noted that other eligible companies, including TVS Motor Company and Divi’s Laboratories, were not considered for inclusion because their average free-float market capitalisation did not meet the required threshold relative to the lowest-ranked existing constituents after the exclusion.
Eligibility criteria also require stocks to be available for trading in NSE’s Futures & Options segment. The replacement will also apply to the Nifty50 Equal Weight index, in line with index methodology.
NSE Indices also announced several changes in the constituents of Nifty 100, Nifty 500, Nifty Midcap 150, Nifty Smallcap 250, Nifty Next 50, among others.
