The Index Maintenance Sub-Committee (Equity) of NSE Indices has decided to make the changes in various Nifty equity indices as a part of the semi-annual review of broad market indices.
"Trent with average free-float market capitalisation of Rs 99,364 crore and Bharat Electronics with average freefloat market capitalisation of Rs 89,317 crore have been included in Nifty 50 index as the 6-month average free-float market capitalisation of these companies within eligible universe is at least 1.5 times the 6-month average free-float market capitalisation of the smallest constituents i.e. LTIMindtree with average free-float market capitalisation of Rs 47,022 crore and Divi's Laboratories with average free-float market capitalisation of Rs 51,261 crore respectively," NSE said.
The inclusion of Trent and BEL is likely to attract passive inflows of $702 million and $430 million in the Nifty 50 index. The counters will have a weight of 1.4 percent and 0.9 percent respectively, said Nuvama Institutional Equities.
In a related development, Cipla and HDFC Life are also likely to see a rise in their weightage in the Nifty 50 index, while M&M, Infosys, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, Adani Enterprises, HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, Hindustan Unilever, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Axis Bank will also see a fall in their weights in the index.
