What is an index rejig or index reshuffle? Does it impact the market prices of securities?

Also known as index rebalancing, an index reshuffle is a periodic review of a stock market index's components.

This rebalancing process involves the inclusion and/or exclusion of scrips from the index to ensure it continues to be in alignment with its underlying methodology.

Typically, the inclusion of a stock in an index leads to inflows for the stock owing to larger visibility and exposure to institutional players such as banks and mutual funds. On the other hand, the exclusion of a stock from an index may lead to a fall in its price owing to decreased demand.
