“We at Edelweiss Alternative Research were in constant discussion with S&P Global for an ad-hoc implementation of shareholding change instead of rolling it over to March 2022,” the firm said.
“Likewise we believe, Nifty Indices will implement the revised shareholding on its forthcoming rebalance on December 30, 2021. The estimated inflow is of appx USD 170mn,” it added.
