Index funds had to buy BSE and sell Wipro at that close, and Nuvama estimated inflows of about $668 million for BSE. After the switch, BSE fell 2.5% to 3.7% on 30 September as Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas sold shares worth Rs 2,186 crore, while Wipro rose 1.1%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Nifty 50 rejig is complete, and the first lesson is that the stock that joined fell while the stock that left rose. The <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-50\/nifty-50-share-price-today\">Nifty 50<\/a> has held BSE in place of Wipro since the 29 September close, and Wipro has moved to the Nifty Next 50. That reversal is a common feature of passive-fund trading around an index rejig.<\/p>\n<p>If you are searching for what happens after stocks enter or exit an index, this article explains the semi-annual Nifty 50 rejig rules and the free-float market capitalisation test, why the BSE Wipro switch happened, how passive funds and ETFs trade, what Nuvama and Goldman Sachs flows showed around the effective date and what investors should take from it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

BSE fell and Wipro rose once passive buying and selling were done, which is a common but not certain pattern. Nifty 50 rejig changes move prices briefly, but results and valuation decide the longer trend.
