Mumbai: Bharat Electronics is all set to make its place in the benchmark Nifty 50 on September 27. The new Nifty 50 entrant along with Trent will be replacing pharma player Divi’s Laboratories and IT major LTIMindtree, which have been excluded.

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.

The inclusion of Trent and BEL is expected to bring passive inflows of $702 million and $430 million into the headline Nifty 50 index. The counters will have a weight of 1.4 percent and 0.9 percent respectively, according to Nuvama Institutional Equities.

Meanwhile, BEL expects an order inflow to be around ₹25,000 crore for the current financial year. As per its last updated shared on September 11 this year, when the company had won orders worth ₹1,155 crore, BEL’s total order inflow for financial year 2025 stood at ₹7,075 crore.
