BSE Sensex rejig : Tata Group's retail arm Trent is all set to replace FMCG giant Nestle India whilst defence PSU Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) will replace IndusInd Bank in the BSE Sensex following the index rejig, which takes effect from June 23, 2025.

The rejig for Sensex and additional indices were announced by BSE's fully-owned subsidiary Asia Index Private Limited after today's trading session.

The removal of Nestle India from the index follows its poor stock performance. The FMCG company's share price has declined by approximately 5% in the previous year, falling behind Nifty's 9% gains during the same period. In contrast, Trent has surpassed the primary index, delivering 15% returns over the past 12 months.

The defence sector PSU stock BEL has demonstrated even stronger performance with stability, achieving returns of 35% during the previous 12-month period.

IndusInd Bank's share has declined more than 40% in the past year. The bank reported its first loss in 20 years, amounting to Rs 2,329 crore, alongside discovering a suspected internal staff fraud of Rs 172.58 crore, which was incorrectly recorded as fee income across three quarters. Consequently, analysts are downgrading the stock and reducing target prices.
