This periodic rebalancing of the Sensex, overseen by Asia Index Pvt Ltd, ensures that the benchmark index remains representative of India’s evolving market dynamics.
Brokerage firm Nuwama projects significant fund flows as institutional investors adjust portfolios to align with the updated index composition. Zomato is expected to attract $513 million in investment, reflecting investor interest in the tech-based business. Meanwhile, JSW Steel, which will exit the index, is likely to witness an outflow of $252 million.
Zomato’s market inclusion comes on the back of strong stock performance. The company’s shares have gained 43% in the past six months and over 126% in the past year, compared to the Sensex’s 10.7% return during the same period. Meanwhile JSW Steel has returned around 9% in one year.
As of December 21, Zomato’s market capitalization stood at Rs. 2.72 lakh crore, compared to JSW Steel’s Rs. 2.24 lakh crore was crossed.
