The elite SENSEX index which constitutes list of top 30 companies - the premier index at the Bombay Stock Exchange will see reshuffling its portfolio with Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group companies Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Communications being no longer part of the list. They will be replaced by Coal India and Sun Pharmaceuticals. The decision was taken by the Index committee of the BSE in its meeting held on June 17, 2011.
The changes will be effective from August 8, 2011. However, the two ADA group companies along with Reliance Power and Reliance Capital continue to be part of the 50 stocks that make NIFTY - the premier index of the National Stock Exchange. Coal India is the most valued PSU and the second most valued company in India with a market capitalization of Rs 2.5 lakh crore while Sun Pharma, with a market cap of nearly Rs 50,000 crore is the most valued pharma company now.
The exclusion of R-Infra and RCOM from SENSEX list is sure to add pressure on these stocks, since fund managers who have benchmarked their funds, including passive SENSEX-based exchange traded funds, will now be forced to sell these stocks and buy the two scrips which have now been included in the index.
