Overview
- Trent and Bharat Electronics will join the 30-share Sensex on June 23, replacing consumer staple leader Nestle India and private sector lender IndusInd Bank.
- Brokerages estimate that the inclusion could trigger inflows of roughly Rs 3,000 crore each into Trent and Bharat Electronics, reflecting their trading volumes and investor demand.
- Bharat Electronics has surged about 35% this year and carries an order book exceeding Rs 71,000 crore, driven by DRDO collaborations and long-term defence contracts.
- Trent, down over 18% in 2025, added 40 Westside stores and 244 Zudio outlets in the current financial year and holds buy ratings from Jefferies, Motilal Oswal and Nuvama.
- Outflows of around Rs 1,900 crore could weigh on Nestle India as it readies a Rs 5,000 crore investment and bonus share proposal, while IndusInd Bank may face Rs 1,160 crore in outflows after its shares were hit by accounting and governance concerns.
