Based on the data from 1 Feb to 15 May, we expect 1 constituent change in Nifty 50, 5 constituent changes in Nifty Next 50, and no change in Bank Nifty,'' said Axis Capital in its report.

Axis Capital analysts further said, ''Based on the methodology and the prevaling prices as on 15-May-2024, we expect the toillowing changes.'' The flows are hased on assumed benchmark fund AUMs of $45 billion.

Additionally, Nifty Next 50 could also see several inclusions such as Polycab India, Hitachi Energy India, IndusInd Bank, and ICICI Prudential AMC. The potential index exclusions include Indian Hotels, REC, Shree Cement, Zydus Lifesciences, and Lodha Developers.
