In its latest reshuffle, the MSCI Global Standard Index has included BSE, Voltas, Alkem Laboratories, Kalyan Jewellers, and Oberoi Realty. These changes are going to take effect starting November 25, according to an official statement released on Thursday.
Indian equities are anticipated to see total net FII passive inflows of approximately $2.5 billion as a result of this rebalancing. Among the new entrants, Voltas is set to attract the highest inflow of $312 million, followed by BSE at $259 million. Kalyan Jewellers, Oberoi Realty, and Alkem Labs are estimated to bring in $241 million, $215 million, and $204 million, respectively.
HDFC Bank is set to benefit significantly from the second tranche of its weightage increase in the MSCI index. The adjustment, originally announced in August and implemented in two stages, is expected to lead to passive inflows of up to $1.87 billion for the banking giant.
Other stocks such as Tata Power, JSW Energy, Samvardhana Motherson, Jindal Steel & Power, PB Fintech, and APL Apollo Tubes are also set to see weightage increases in the index. Conversely, Adani Green Energy, GMR Airports Infra, and Adani Power will face reductions in their weightage due to free float adjustments.
Conclusion: The MSCI index changes underline the growing influence of Indian equities in global portfolios, with new inclusions and weightage adjustments paving the way for significant inflows. These shifts not only spotlight market confidence in select stocks but also highlight ongoing concerns over free float transparency in certain cases.
