BSE Stock Falls Despite Nifty 50 Inclusion Amid Stake Sales
BSE shares fell even though the company joined the important Nifty 50 index.
Joining the index can attract investor interest and buying.
However, Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas sold large numbers of BSE shares.
Their selling helped push the price lower.
Two mutual funds bought shares in separate large trades.
The stock has fallen for four straight months and is down 25.42% over that period.
Analysts say the stock looks weak because it remains below several important trend lines.
They are watching whether it can rise above ₹3,300 or fall below nearby support levels.
BSE shares fell 3.5% to ₹3,092 on 30 September, giving up the previous day’s gains.
BSE entered the Nifty 50 for the first time, replacing Wipro during the index reshuffle.
Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas sold BSE shares, offsetting some of the expected benefit from index inclusion.
UTI Mutual Fund and Nippon India Mutual Fund bought 2,712,950 and 2,529,550 BSE shares, respectively.
Analysts identified ₹3,300–₹3,320 as key resistance and support zones between ₹3,050 and ₹3,060, with ₹2,950 as another important level.
