MSCI, the global index provider, has just shaken things up with its latest index review. Hyundai Motor India Limited has secured a spot in the MSCI India Index, while Adani Green Energy Limited has been dropped. The update, announced on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, is part of MSCI's routine changes to its indices.
MSCI has stated that it continues to closely monitor Adani Group and its related securities, particularly regarding market float and other relevant factors. It will provide further updates when necessary.

These changes will be implemented after the market closes on February 28, 2025, and will take effect on March 3, 2025.
Hyundai Motor India strengthens its global footprint
Hyundai Motor India has achieved another success by being named one of the top three additions to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The other two big names joining the list are Emaar Development (UAE) and J&T Global Express B (China). This move further strengthens Hyundai Motor India's global position, making it an attractive option for share market investment.
What this means for share market investment
Hyundai Motor India's addition to the MSCI India Index is great news for investors. Being part of a global index often attracts foreign institutional investors, boosting liquidity and visibility. For anyone interested in share market investment, this could be a stock to keep an eye on.
Meanwhile, Adani Green Energy's exclusion might put some pressure on its stock in the short term, as index removals often trigger selling. On February 12, 2025, at 12:30 PM, Hyundai Motor India's stock was trading at ₹1,807, down by 1.51%, while Adani Green Energy slipped 2.34% to ₹924.51 at 12:35 PM.
