The changes will come into effect after the close of trading on August 31, 2026.
The MSCI India Index is closely followed by global institutional and passive investors. Changes in its composition can lead to portfolio adjustments and increased trading activity in the affected stocks.
The latest review is expected to bring greater attention to the companies being added, while stocks leaving the index may face changes in fund holdings.
