NSE Indices has announced a major rejig of the Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 indices. BSE will replace Wipro in the Nifty 50 from September 30, 2026. Meanwhile, 27 stocks will be added to the Nifty 500 and 27 companies will exit the index. The changes will follow NSE Indices’ periodic review.
NSE has announced changes to the Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 indices as part of its periodic review. The changes will bring BSE Ltd into the Nifty 50, while Wipro Ltd will be excluded from the benchmark index.
The reshuffle will also bring major changes to the Nifty 500. A total of 27 stocks will be added to the index, while an equal number of companies will be excluded. The changes will take effect on September 30, 2026, after the close of trading on September 29.
The latest rejig comes at a time when investors are closely tracking the performance of Indian equities.
BSE will make its entry into the Nifty 50, replacing Wipro. The decision is based on the six-month average free-float market capitalisation of both companies.
BSE had an average free-float market capitalisation of ₹1,40,879 crore over the six-month period. This was substantially higher than Wipro’s average of ₹55,930 crore.
The Nifty 50 tracks 50 of India's largest companies based on their average free-float market capitalisation over the previous six months. According to NSE Indices, BSE qualified for inclusion, as its average free-float market capitalisation was at least 1.5 times that of the smallest Nifty 50 constituent being removed.
BSE's strong rise in market value has played an important role in its inclusion. The company's share price had gained around 37% in 2026 as of August 10, according to the data provided.
In comparison, Wipro has faced pressure in the stock market. Its share price fell 1.1% on August 10 and was down around 29.5% in 2026.
The decision also comes as investors continue to assess the outlook for India's technology companies. Concerns around artificial intelligence and its possible impact on traditional IT services have remained an important factor for the sector.
BSE was not the only company that met the eligibility criteria for consideration. TVS Motor Company and Divi's Laboratories were the next two eligible companies based on average free-float market capitalisation.
However, neither company was included in the Nifty 50. TVS Motor had an average free-float market capitalisation of ₹84,566 crore, while Divi's Laboratories had ₹82,930 crore.
NSE Indices said the two companies were not considered because the average free-float market capitalisation of the two Nifty 50 constituents with the lowest market capitalisation, after Wipro's exclusion, was below the required threshold of 1.5 times.
The two lowest constituents considered for this calculation were HDFC Life Insurance Company Ltd, with an average free-float market capitalisation of ₹65,666 crore, and Tata Consumer Products Ltd, at ₹73,054 crore.
Another important condition is that only stocks available for trading in the NSE Futures & Options segment are eligible for inclusion in the Nifty 50.
The Nifty 500 is also set for a major reshuffle. NSE Indices has decided to replace 27 companies with the index.
