BSE falls 4% after Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas sell shares
In short
BSE shares fell about 4% when the stock entered the Nifty 50 index. The report says Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas sold more than 68 lakh shares worth Rs 2,186 crore, while UTI Mutual Fund and Nippon India Mutual Fund bought about 52.43 lakh shares.
This matters because big share sales can push the price down even on a major index debut. The report does not say whether the stock later recovered.
