NMDC, Union Bank, and BHEL experienced a decline in morning trade on February 13 despite inclusion in the MSCI Global Standard Index. Over the past three months, these stocks rallied, meeting the criteria for MSCI inclusion.

At the time of writing, NMDC, Union Bank, and BHEL were trading at ₹226.80 (-1.48%), ₹137.05 (-1.93%), and ₹211.90 (-2.15%) respectively.

Indian additions to the Small Cap Index include Balmer Lawrie, Banco Products, Cello World, Cyient DLM, DB Realty, Dhanuka Agri, and Ethos.
