Vedanta Group’s flagship company, Vedanta Ltd, shares are set to be removed from the global index provider MSCI’s Global Standard Indexes list, effective from the beginning of next week, according to an official announcement on Tuesday, June 16.
In the filing, MSCI announced that Vedanta, which remains the group’s flagship listed entity, will be removed from the MSCI Standard and Large Cap indices after the spin-off, effective from Monday, June 22, 2026.
MSCI Global Standard Indexes’ move to remove Vedanta comes after the mining group demerged its business into a total of five companies, led by the flagship listed entity.
Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Oil & Gas, and Vedanta Iron & Steel were the remaining four entities which make their debut on the Indian stock markets, NSE and BSE, earlier this week.
As the MSCI Global Standard Indexes monitors the market capitalisation (m-cap) of its constituents, the companies have to meet the specific capitalisation requirements and thresholds to retain their position in among the global indices. After the demerger move the split in businesses resulting in a fall of Vedanta’s m-cap.
With the removal from the MSCI indices, the Vedanta share price is set to witness some near-term volatility as global investors can potentially place large sell orders or move around their capital during the removal move.
