According to the brokerage, the chances of Coforge, Fortins Healthcare, One97 Communication and Coromandel International joining it are very high.

IndusInd Bank is a $143 million company with 13.2 million shares.
Foreign investment still equal to 25 percent
Despite heavy selling by foreign institutional investors, foreign institutional investors still own 25 percent of the shares in the companies included in the MSCI India Index. After the inclusion of new companies, the inflow of foreign shares in MSCI India Index will increase from $ 250 million to $ 300 million. This will affect the stock market trading for the next three to five days. Nuvama Alternative Research believes that if this happens, it will start showing trends in the stock market trading from February 28.
