Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research projected on August 10, 2026, that BSE Ltd. may replace Wipro Limited in the benchmark Nifty 50 index. This potential change is part of the semi-annual rebalancing scheduled for September 2026. A formal announcement is expected later in August.
BSE’s free-float market capitalization has increased significantly. Wipro faces challenges amid a broader slowdown in the IT sector. Exclusion from the index could trigger approximately $246 million in passive fund outflows for Wipro. The Nifty Index Committee will make the final decision, which remains subject to potential methodology modifications.
