Tata Motors CV among 5 Stocks to see inflows of up to $143 Mil after entry into Nifty Next 50 Index

SYNOPSIS: NSE’s March 2026 index rejig is likely to keep Nifty 50 unchanged, while triggering notable churn in Nifty Next 50, Midcap 150 and Smallcap 250, influencing passive fund flows.

Rejig of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) indices happens twice a year, in March and September. During these periodic reviews, stocks are added or removed based on whether they continue to meet the eligibility criteria for inclusion in a particular index.

For the upcoming review, the NSE is expected to announce the changes in the second half of February, with the final adjustments coming into effect on 30th March 2026. Since the cut-off period has already ended, investors are now closely watching how the reshuffle plays out – especially given the number of companies that have debuted on the exchanges over the past six months.

When it comes to the Nifty 50 rebalancing, Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research expects no changes this time around. According to the brokerage, none of the eligible stocks have met the threshold required to replace the existing constituents, pointing towards a status quo outcome.

That said, some churn is likely in the broader indices. Nuvama expects changes across indices such as the Nifty Next 50, Nifty 100, Nifty Midcap 150, and Nifty Smallcap 250, making these segments particularly interesting to track in the upcoming rebalance.

Nifty Next 50 Rejig: Who’s In, Who’s Out?

Ahead of the March semi-annual index rejig, Nuvama has flagged a possible shake-up in the Nifty Next 50 (Nifty Junior) index. According to its note, stocks such as Tata Motors (Commercial Vehicles), Tata Capital, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company, Muthoot Finance, and either HDFC AMC or Cummins India could be added to the index in March 2026.

These potential inclusions are expected to replace Info Edge (Naukri), Bajaj Housing Finance, JSW Energy, Havells India, and either ICICI Lombard General Insurance or Zydus Lifesciences.

Tata Motors is estimated to attract the highest passive inflows of around $143 million, while HDFC AMC could see inflows of roughly $81 million. Meanwhile, stocks likely to exit the index may face selling pressure, with Info Edge expected to see the largest outflow of about $79 million, followed by ICICI Lombard at $71 million, Havells India at $52 million, JSW Energy at $38 million, and Bajaj Housing Finance at $14 million, as per the note. As always, final changes will only be confirmed closer to the effective date, but these estimates give investors a clear sense of where passive flows could head next.

Nifty Midcap 150 & Smallcap 250: Likely Additions and Exits

For the Nifty Midcap 150, Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research expects several newly listed names to make their way into the index. These include LG Electronics India, Lenskart Solutions, HDB Financial Services, Anthem Biosciences, and Billionbrains Garage Ventures (Groww).

At the same time, stocks such as HDFC AMC, Muthoot Finance, Exide Industries, Sona BLW Precision Forgings, and LIC Housing Finance are expected to be excluded from the Midcap index.

Looking at the Nifty Smallcap 250, Nuvama believes stocks such as PhysicsWallah, Piramal Finance, Ajanta Pharma, Exide Industries, and Honeywell Automation India could be among the key inclusions.

On the other hand, likely exclusions from the Smallcap index include Laurus Labs, Authum Investment & Infrastructure, Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) of India, Radico Khaitan, and Akums Drugs and Pharmaceuticals.

As with all index rejigs, these changes (if confirmed) could lead to notable passive inflows for inclusions and corresponding outflows for exclusions once the rebalance takes effect.
