Mumbai: Global index services provider MSCI has included 13 Indian stocks in its Global Standard Index and removed three. That takes the total count of domestic stocks on the MSCI indices to 146, up from 136. The change is scheduled for May 31 and India could potentially witness an inflow of $2.5 billion from global passive funds, the highest among any emerging market in the current index rejig.
Global passive funds, such as exchange-traded funds, structure their portfolios based on these indices. Any change in composition prompts these funds to adjust their allocations. The newly included stocks are JSW Energy, Canara Bank, Indus Towers, PB Fintech, Sundaram Finance, and NHPC. Berger Paints has been dropped, while Indraprastha Gas and Paytm's parent, One 97 Communications, have been downgraded to the small-cap index.
"India has once again achieved a major milestone in this rejig, as its representation in the MSCI EM Index is set to increase from the current 18.3% to closer to 19%," said Abhilash Pagaria, head of Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research. "The adjustments slated for May 31 could witness a net inflow of upwards of $ 2.5 billion in FII passive flows."

Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors. The spike has coincided with a sharp correction in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 declining about 8% during the same period. The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...
