MSCI Rejig: LIC, Meesho likely to enter India Standard Index; OFSS, Siemens Energy may be dropped
Life Insurance Corporation moved lower.
· LiveMint Markets
JM Financial expects the November 2026 MSCI India Standard Index review could add LIC and Meesho and exclude Oracle Financial Services Software and Siemens Energy India. The changes may generate estimated net passive inflows of about $1.4 billion; final decisions await MSCI’s announcement.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +1.2% on the day at ₹396.00, and has returned -6.6% over three months. It sits 14% below its 52-week high. The insurance sector has moved -12.3% over the same period, so Life Insurance Corporation is running 5.7 points ahead of its peers.
This is an Index / institutional flows event. Passive and institutional flows move price independently of fundamentals, and around rebalancing dates they dominate it. On the day the stock is +1.2%, so a modest reaction.
For Life Insurance Corporation, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the insurance peer set alongside it.
