Three index inclusions you should be watching this quarter.

When a stock gets added to NIFTY 50, passive funds (which now manage ₹3.5 lakh crore in NIFTY-tracking AUM) MUST buy it. They have no choice. This creates a predictable ~3-5% inflow. When a stock gets removed, the reverse happens. ~3-5% selling pressure within days. The index rebalances every 6 months. NSE announces additions ~3 weeks before they take effect. This 3-week window is when smart money positions. For this June review, three candidates likely to move: • Trent (probable addition to NIFTY 50) • Indian Hotels (probable addition to NIFTY 50) • BPCL (potential exit from NIFTY 50) Disclaimer: I'm not predicting. These are based on free-float market cap rankings. NSE has final say. Key learning: every 6 months, smart money frontruns index changes. Reading the rebalance methodology is a free edge.
