May 13 (Reuters) - Global index provider MSCI added four Indian stocks and removed four from its widely tracked Global Standard Index in its latest periodic review, announced earlier on Wednesday, with the changes set to take effect on May 29, 2026.
Federal Bank FED.NS, Multi Commodity Exchange of India MCEI.NS, National Aluminium NALU.NS and Indian Bank INBA.NS will enter the index, while Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS, Jubilant Foodworks JUBI.NS, Kalyan Jewellers KALN.NS and Rail Vikas Nigam RAIV.NS will be excluded.
India's weight in the MSCI Global Standard Index remains broadly steady at 12.3%, compared with 12.4% after the February review, while the number of Indian constituents is unchanged at 165.
Adani Energy Solutions ADAI.NS, initially seen as a provisional addition, has been left out after being placed under the NSE's additional surveillance mechanism framework, a watchlist for unusual trading activity that makes the stock ineligible for inclusion.
MSCI indexes are key global benchmarks tracked by large passive funds, making index changes a significant driver of stock-specific flows.
Inclusions typically attract fresh passive capital, while deletions often trigger outflows as funds rebalance portfolios.
Nuvama Quantitative and Alternative Research expects passive inflows of $491 million into Federal Bank, $373 million into MCX, $308 million into National Aluminium and $209 million into Indian Bank.
On the other side, Hyundai Motor India, Jubilant Foodworks, Kalyan Jewellers and Rail Vikas Nigam are projected to see outflows of $281 million, $161 million, $137 million and $136 million, respectively.
Adani Power ADAN.NS, BPCL BPCL.NS, FSN E-Commerce FSNE.NS, Trent TREN.NS and Oracle Financial Services ORCL.NS are also expected to draw inflows due to higher weightages, while weights for HUL HLL.NS, Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS, TCS TCS.NS, ONGC ONGC.NS and Ultratech Cement ULTC.NS, among others, were trimmed.
While the Global Standard Index saw balanced additions and deletions, MSCI's small-cap index had heavier exclusions, reducing India's small-cap count to 459 from 474.

Adds details related to impairment charges, background throughout
April 28 (Reuters) - India's Sapphire Foods SAPI.NS logged a second straight quarterly loss as one-time charges tied to its merger with Devyani International DEVY.NS and changes to labour codes, along with weak urban demand and higher costs, weighed on earnings.
The results for the Indian operator of KFC and Pizza Hut come against a tough backdrop for India's quick-service restaurant sector, where fast-food chains have struggled to revive same-store sales, a key metric to gauge underlying sales growth, amid slowing urban demand.
Near-term pressures have intensified as a cooking gas shortage linked to Middle East tensions has strained household budgets despite firms stepping up promotions and deep discounts.
The franchisee for U.S.-based Yum Brands YUM.N reported a consolidated net loss of 126.1 million rupees ($1.33 million) for the March quarter, wider than the 47.9 million loss it posted in the previous quarter.
It booked another one-time charge in the reporting quarter, including 62.27 million rupees linked to new labour codes and 65.69 million rupees tied to the $934 million merger.
Sapphire merged with Devyani in a deal in January, creating a business that operates more than 3,000 KFC and Pizza Hut outlets globally, competing with market leader Jubilant Foodworks JUBI.NS.
It had logged a similar one-time charge of roughly 110 million in the previous quarter related to the merger and code changes.
Same-store sales grew 4% at KFC and declined 7% at Pizza Hut chains year-on-year. Post-merger momentum at KFC was offset by weaker Pizza Hut sales, as one-time charges added to pressures from weak urban demand and rising costs.
Sapphire added 24 new restaurants in the reported quarter, bringing the total to 1,052 stores as of March end.
Revenue from operations rose 11.4% year-on-year to 7.92 billion rupees, while expenses also climbed at about the same pace.

Updates paragraph 1, adds details paragraph 4 onwards
April 7 (Reuters) - Shares of Domino's India operator Jubilant Foodworks JUBI.NS slumped to their lowest since March 2024 on Tuesday, after weak sales growth stoked fears of slowing momentum and margin strain.
Shares fell as much as 8.7% to 421 rupees. Benchmark Nifty 50 index was down 0.2%.
The company posted 0.2% same-store sales growth on Monday for its Domino's India stores in the fourth quarter, down from the 5% growth it had recorded last quarter.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley called it a "big miss", while Goldman Sachs said it will result in weak margins for the company.
Antique Stock Broking said that the cooking gas shortage in the country brought on by the Iran war may have impacted select outlets of the company during the January-March quarter, hurting its same-store sales growth.
This comes at a time when fast-food chains in India are struggling amid intense competition and rising costs. Peers Devyani International DEVY.NS and Sapphire Foods SAPI.NS both reported losses for the third quarter.
Jubilant's fourth-quarter consolidated revenue from operations rose 19.1% year-on-year to 25.1 billion rupees ($270.04 million), compared to 21 billion rupees a year ago.

March 30 (Reuters) - India's Jubilant FoodWorks JUBI.NS will not renew its agreement with U.S.-based Dunkin' to develop and operate stores in the country after the pact expires on December 31, 2026, the restaurant chain operator said on Monday.
The company said it will evaluate options for the stores, including sale and transfer of franchise rights in consultation with Dunkin'.
The coffee-and-doughnut chain has struggled to grow in India, prompting Jubilant to focus on Domino's pizza business and newer brands such as fried-chicken chain, Popeyes.
The decision is not expected to have any material operational or financial impact, Jubilant said.
The brand contributed about 0.61% of the company's revenue and a loss of roughly 191 million rupees in fiscal year 2025, according to an exchange filing.
Jubilant operated 27 Dunkin' outlets in India as of December 2025 and shut seven stores over the past year, according to its third-quarter investor presentation.
In the October-December quarter, the company's profit rose 65% to 709 million rupees ($7.49 million), from 429.1 million rupees a year ago.

Jan 2 (Reuters) - India's KFC, Pizza Hut operator Devyani International jumped as much as 8.3% on Friday after announcing the long-anticipated $934 million merger with smaller peer Sapphire Foods, creating a fast-food major poised to challenge market leader Jubilant Foodworks.
The combined entity will operate more than 3,000 KFC and Pizza Hut outlets, franchises of Yum Brands YUM.N, in India and overseas, going up against the Domino's Pizza operator Jubilant's 3,480 outlets in the country.
Devyani's DEVY.NS stock was last trading 2.8% higher at 151.39 rupees.
The merger was a "welcome strategic move", said analysts at JP Morgan, as it meant a simplified structure, potential for meaningful cost savings and quicker decision making, helping Devyani compete more effectively with peers and food delivery platforms.
The merger comes as India's fast‑food franchisees contend with higher operating costs, slowing same‑store sales and margin pressures, while consumers trim discretionary spending. Both Devyani and Sapphire logged losses in the September 2025 quarter.
The combined business could deliver revenue and operating profit 50%–60% above current levels, with a scale and growth trajectory approaching Jubilant's, though margins are expected to remain comparatively weaker for now, added Emkay Global.
Devyani will issue 177 shares for every 100 Sapphire shares under the deal.
Sapphire Foods slipped about 3% to 254.25 rupees, while Jubilant's shares were trading 0.2% lower at 552.20 rupees.
The merger ratio is very close to where the stock prices closed on January 1 and so there is no major price adjustment that can arise out of this deal, said Jefferies analysts.

Jan 1 (Reuters) - India's KFC and Pizza Hut operators Sapphire Foods SAPI.NS and Devyani International DEVY.NS said on Thursday they will merge in a $934 million deal, creating a fast-food franchisee powerhouse in the world's most populous country.
The deal comes as India's fast-food franchisees grapple with higher costs, slowing same-store sales and margin pressure, while facing stiff competition from McDonald's MCD.N and Domino's Pizza DPZ.O operators in a market where consumers are cutting back on non-essential spending.
Devyani will issue 177 shares for every 100 shares of Sapphire as part of the deal and it expects annual synergies of 2.1 billion to 2.25 billion rupees ($23.34 million to $25.01 million) from the second full year of operations of the combined entity.
The companies, partners of Yum Brands YUM.N, run more than 3,000 outlets across India and overseas, including KFC and Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants and compete with the Indian operators of McDonald's and Domino's Pizza chains - Westlife Foodworld WEST.NS and Jubilant Foodworks JUBI.NS.
Both the KFC and Pizza Hut franchisees in India operate at a net loss, making scalability a challenge, said Akshay D'Souza, an independent consumer goods consultant.
"With the single entity, if they are able to unlock even half of the expected synergies, we will be seeing a profitable enterprise... where they can control costs better."
In the quarter ended September, Sapphire's consolidated total costs rose 10% on-year to 7.68 billion rupees, while Devyani's spends rose 14.4% to 14.08 billion rupees.
Devyani reported a net loss of 219 million rupees for the quarter ended September 30, reversing a profit of 170,000 rupees a year earlier, while Sapphire posted a wider consolidated net loss of 127.7 million rupees, compared with a loss of 30.4 million rupees a year ago.

Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. pizza chain Papa John's International PZZA.O plans to return to India by October, said a master franchisee executive, aiming to open 650 stores over the next decade in a market where fast-food chains have been struggling to sustain sales growth.
The world's third-largest pizza delivery company, which exited India in 2017 citing underperformance, follows U.S. rival Little Caesars, which opened in India earlier this year with a target of 100 stores by the decade-end.
Papa John's will open its first store in the southern city of Bengaluru, Vish Narain, managing partner at Pulsar Capital, told Reuters. The Indian investment house and UAE-based PJP Investments Group are Papa John's joint master franchisees in India.
The pizza chain had revealed plans in April 2023 to re-enter the "complex market".
Its return comes as fast-food chains grapple with weakening sales in the country, as cash-strapped urban consumers - the key customer base - cut back due to slow wage growth and as rising competition bites.
One of India's two Pizza Hut YUM.N franchisees, Devyani International DEVY.NS, has been closing underperforming stores, while the smaller operator, Sapphire Foods India SAPI.NS, has been cautious with its expansion plans.
The company will also face stiff competition from Domino's Pizza DPZ.O, which has more than 2,200 outlets in India, Pizza Hut with about 950 stores, and smaller upscale chains such as Pizza Bakery and PizzaExpress.
Pulsar Capital is betting on India's long-term potential, mirroring consumer-facing companies such as Dove soapmaker Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS and brewer Heineken HEIN.AS that are continuing to invest in the country with an eye on its population of 1.4 billion.
The fast-food "category is under-penetrated, so we are many years away from saturation," said Narain.
Papa John's plans to tailor its pizza to local palates while also offering its signature pies, joining fast-food rivals offering similar fare. KFC sells a paneer zinger burger, Domino's offers a chicken tikka pie, and Subway serves a potato-patty sandwich.

KFC, McDonald's face pressure from inflation, local competition
Jubilant's digital strategy boosts sales; margins under pressure
Fried chicken to drive long-term growth
By Shivani Tanna and Praveen Paramasivam
May 5 (Reuters) - India's Jubilant FoodWorks' JUBI.NS strong sales growth for the March quarter is set to outpace rivals whose franchisees are expected to report muted growth despite value-focused promotions, several analysts said.
Operators of U.S. chains KFC YUM.N, McDonald's MCD.N and Burger King QSR.TO are likely to report a decline to mid-single-digit growth in same-store sales, as inflation-hit consumers cut back and local competition intensifies, according to six brokerages.
Jubilant, however, has already flagged a 12.1% increase in like-for-like sales in India in its quarterly update, which analysts say has benefited from its focus on online sales, discounts on third-party platforms, and a waiver of delivery fees on app orders.
Other franchisees have not issued sales updates. Sapphire kicks off earnings for the sector on Wednesday.
"Competitive intensity is growing in fried chicken and burger and the larger existing players like KFC and McDonald's don't have anything different to offer versus rivals," said Karan Taurani, an analyst at Elara Securities.
"Jubilant is performing the best of the lot," Taurani said, adding that its investments into 20-minute in-house delivery and app-led orders are helping reduce its reliance on third-party platforms, which rivals are heavily dependent on.
India's fast-food sector is cooling as inflation-hit consumers cut back, with franchisees relying on discounts to stay competitive in a crowded market.
Unlike Jubilant, which has pushed delivery and app-based offers, KFC and McDonald's franchisees rely more on dine-in traffic and face growing pressure from local cafes and restaurants, analysts said.
Jubilant reported a 34% jump in consolidated revenue to 21.07 billion rupees ($250.05 million) for the March quarter.
While Jubilant's digital strategy has delivered steady outperformance through the year, analysts expect its profit margins — like those of other operators — to remain under pressure in the March quarter, partly due to rising raw material and marketing costs.
Three brokerages expect Jubilant's core earnings margin — a metric the restaurant operator aims to boost over the next few quarters by tightening its costs — to be unchanged from a year earlier.
However, some analysts see fried chicken as a key long-term growth category, despite the challenge of sameness.
"If you see from a longer-term perspective, the next growth driver is the overall fried chicken category in India, but there would be some pressure for one or two quarters," said Preeyam Tolia of Axis Securities.
