Hindalco Industries Could Replace Trent in Sensex June 2026 Rejig

Hindalco Industries is likely to be included in the BSE Sensex during the June 2026 semi-annual review, replacing Trent Ltd, as per a Business Standard report.  

The review window is set to close next week. Any changes are expected to be announced in May and implemented after-market hours on June 19. 

Selection Criteria and Rankings 

Hindalco and Shriram Finance are currently the highest-ranked non-constituents eligible for inclusion. While Shriram Finance has a marginally higher free-float market capitalisation, index composition considerations are likely to influence the final selection. Sector representation remains a key factor in the process. 

Sector Weight Considerations 

The commodities segment has a relatively lower weight within the Sensex compared to the broader market. In contrast, financial services stocks account for a larger share of the index.  

This imbalance is expected to favour Hindalco’s inclusion, aligning the index more closely with overall market composition. 

Impact on Fund Flows 

The expected inclusion could lead to passive inflows of about ₹3,800 crore into Hindalco. At the same time, Trent may see outflows estimated at ₹2,327 crore.  

In trading terms, this implies buying demand exceeding 5 times Hindalco’s average daily volumes, alongside comparable selling pressure in Trent. 

Stock Performance Trends 

Over the past year, Hindalco’s shares have risen by more than 60%. The broader Sensex has remained largely unchanged during the same period.  

Trent’s stock has declined by around 18% over the past year and has underperformed over a longer timeframe of 18 months. 

Current Index Composition 

Trent was added to the Sensex in June 2025. Other Tata Group constituents include Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Steel and Titan Company. Within the Aditya Birla Group, UltraTech Cement is currently the only representative. 

Previous Rejig Reference 

In the December reshuffle, InterGlobe Aviation replaced Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles. The changes show adjustments based on market capitalisation, liquidity and sector balance.
