Global index providers MSCI and FTSE have announced they will modify their treatment of Swiggy following a reduction in the company's foreign ownership limit. MSCI plans to exclude Swiggy from its global indices starting September 7, while FTSE will adjust Swiggy's investability weight at the market's opening on the same date. The changes are expected to trigger an estimated $330 million in passive outflows, as per research firm Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research.
This could equate to nearly 120 million shares, or five to six days' worth of typical daily trading volume. Additionally, Nuvama estimates that the total impact of the MSCI and FTSE adjustments might surpass $350 million in initial phases. Swiggy had been included in the Red Flag list maintained by depositories NSDL and CDSL, a status activated when foreign investment is within or below 3% of the aggregate NRI or Foreign Portfolio Investor limits. Following the update, Swiggy's shares experienced a 2.7% drop, closing at ₹267.50 on Wednesday.
