Besides MSCI Smallcap Index is likely to see addition of 14 like Waaree Renewable Tech, Vedant Fashions, VA Tech Wabag, RR Kabel, Sanghvi Movers, DOMS Industries, Time Technoplast, Dynamatic Tech, Inox India, Transformers and Rectifiers, Puravankara, Juniper Hotels, Tips Industries and Shriram Pistons.

At the same time, smallcaps like Tatva Chintan, Borosil, Rajratan Global, Sharda Cropchem and Dreamfolks may see exits. The pre-emptive price action in most of the names are already factored in.

"We maintain our belief that in the EM pack will continue to astound skeptics and reward believers in the India Story. As of now, India's stock count in the MSCI Standard Index/EM Index is 136, and we anticipate it to reach closer to 150 by the forthcoming May review," said Nuvama's Abhilash Pagaria.

In the , India's representation has grown from around 8% in October 2020 to around 18% now on the back of India's standardized Foreign Ownership Limit (FOL) in 2020, robust performance by Indian equities and relative underperformance by other EM packs, especially China.

"With a consistent flow from DII and now if steady resumes, there is potential for India to surpass a 20% weightage in the MSCI EM Index by the second half of 2024 itself," Nuvama said.
