The November round of rejig in MSCI indices may lead to a boost in HDFC Bank Ltd.'s weightage, according to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research.
HDFC Bank could attract inflows amounting to $1.88 billion, Nuvama said in a report released on Tuesday, two days before the scheduled rejig of the MSCI indices. The private lender is included under the MSCI Global Standard Index.
As per Nuvama's forecast, Adani Energy Solutions Ltd., along with Kalyan Jewellers Ltd., Oberoi Realty Ltd., and Alkem Laboratories Ltd., could be added to the index. Among the probable additions is also BSE Ltd., one of the two main stock exchanges in India.
The official announcement on the adjustments in the MSCI indices is scheduled at 2:30 a.m. (IST) on Nov. 7. The rejig will come into effect on Nov. 25.
Nuvama, in its report, said Adani Energy could attract an inflow of $306 million, BSE could draw $257 million, followed by Oberoi Realty ($218 million), Alkem Laboratories ($211 million), and Kalyan Jewellers ($210 million).
Apart from these, there is a borderline chance for the inclusion of Voltas Ltd. in the MSCI Global Standard Index, Nuvama said. If included, the company could draw inflows of $306 million, it added.
