UPL Ltd. being excluded from the benchmark would create an outflow of $95 million. Reliance Industries Ltd. and HDFC Bank Ltd., whose weightage has been reduced in the index, will see an outflow of $29 million, each.
HDFC Bank, IndusInd Bank Ltd., and Bank of Baroda Ltd. are expected to lead inflows in the Nifty Bank Index at $123 million, $18 million, and $9 million, respectively.

On March 20, the National Stock Exchange informed that Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd.'s inclusion in the National Stock Exchange's key indices has been revoked due to non-compliance with the market regulator's portfolio concentration norms.
As Ireda breached one of the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India's portfolio concentration norms for equity exchange-traded funds and index funds, the index maintenance sub-committee decided to revoke the earlier decision, the NSE said in a statement on March 19.
