MSCI February 2026 Review: Key Changes💡

Aditya Birla Capital and L&T Finance have been added to the MSCI Global Standard Index, while IRCTC has been removed. India’s overall weight remains unchanged, but the number of companies in the Standard Index has increased, indicating internal reshuffling rather than allocation shifts. The Small Cap Index, however, has seen significant removals, which may lead to short-term volatility and passive outflows in affected names. 📌Watch for flow-driven momentum in additions and potential pressure in deletions around the implementation date.
