On Friday, June 27, 2025, important changes are happening to how certain stock market indices are put together. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) regularly reviews and adjusts these indices. This is like refreshing a basket of stocks that represent different parts of the market. Some indices, called "broader indices," are changed every three months, while "strategic indices" are updated every six months.
Think of a stock index as a group of stocks that are tracked together. For example, the Nifty 50 is an index of the 50 largest companies in India. When these indices change, it means some companies might be added, and others might be removed. This matters because many investment funds, called "passive funds," simply try to copy these indices. So, if a stock is added to an index, these funds will buy it, and if it's removed, they'll sell it.
According to news reports, ICICI Bank, NTPC, and Kotak Mahindra Bank are likely to see the largest "inflows." This means investment funds are likely to buy more of their shares. Other stocks like Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv might also witness significant investments.
Max Financial Services, HDFC Life, and SBI Life might see an impact compared to their usual trading volumes.
On the flip side, some stocks might see money flowing out. Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), Mahindra & Mahindra, Eternal, Sun Pharma, and Tech Mahindra are among the companies that could experience "outflows," meaning investment funds might sell their shares.
For daily trading impact, Info Edge, Lupin, and Federal Bank could see a noticeable effect as investors adjust their holdings.

These upcoming adjustments to NSE's stock indices are a routine but important event for the stock market. They can lead to significant buying and selling of shares by passive investment funds, affecting the daily trading volumes and prices of the stocks involved.
