Stocks like Zomato, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Punjab National Bank, DLF and others are likely to see inflows towards the close of Thursday's trading session as part of the MSCI adjustments.
Brokerage firm Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research mentioned that pre-positioning in most of these stocks has already taken place, therefore, these stocks could see a significant spike in volumes towards the last 30 minutes of trade.
Nuvama Alternative is estimating that India can witness passive FII inflows worth $1.2 billion, which includes names in the Standard and Small Cap indices.
Post these adjustments, India's weightage in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index will reach close to its historical high of 18.2%, from the current 17.8%.
While shares of PNB may receive inflows worth up to $187 million, according to Nuvama Alternative, BHEL and NMDC are likely to see inflows worth $165 million and $161 million respectively.
Stock | Inflows ($ Million) |
PNB | 187 |
BHEL | 165 |
NMDC | 161 |
Union Bank | 147 |
GMR Airports | 144 |
While the five names mentioned above will be included in the MSCI Global Standard Index and hence the inflows, stocks like Zomato, DLF, MRF and others will see inflows courtesy an increase of their weightage on the index.
Stock | Inflows ($ Million) |
Zomato | 89 |
