MSCI on Wednesday has included two new companies into its Global Standard index as part of its May rejig, including Coromandel International, Nykaa, among others.
These changes are set to take effect on May 30, 2025 and no Indian stocks have been deleted from the key global index.
"While the flagship Global Standard index and Indian domestic indexes only saw minor tweaks, MSCI added 11 new stocks to its global small-cap index and deleted 21 stocks," a Reuters report said.
The MSCI India domestic small-cap index saw the addition of 12 stocks and removal of 21 stocks.
This inclusion has the potential to bring passive inflows worth $216 million - $227 million into Coromandel and $172 million - $181 million into Nykaa, as per IIFL Alternate Research and JM Financial estimates.
Cipla, Indus Towers, UltraTech, Grasim and Vodafone Idea are likely to see an increase in their weightage on the MSCI Standard Index, leading to an inflow worth approximately $50 million. While stocks like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Infosys and Bharti Airtel will see a reduction in their weightage.
