IT firm Wipro s share buyback, worth Rs 12,000 crore ($1.6bn), may deliver substantial returns to small investors who invest during the remaining short window. Retail shareholders with holdings worth less than INR 2 lakh ($2,700) are eligible for up to 15% of the buyback, and are expected to see acceptance ratios of up to 40%, as analysts predict an overall acceptance rate of around 4%. Wipro intends to buy back less than 5% of its shares at a premium of 12.2% to current market value. However, the share price s performance after past buybacks has varied.

Currently, as many as 11 non-F&O stocks are part of the Nifty Next 50 Index, which, as the name suggests, represents the next rung of large and liquid securities after the Nifty50.
