Who is FTSE Russell?
FTSE, short for Financial Times Stock Exchange, is a family of global stock market indices jointly developed by the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange. It is a UK-based financial company that creates and manages stock market indices. These indices are like ranked lists of companies used to measure how different parts of the global stock market are performing.

What does this inclusion mean to Indian Companies?
The inclusion means these Indian companies have met FTSE Russell’s requirements for being part of its global indices. These rules typically assess factors such as company size (market capitalization), how easily shares can be traded (liquidity), and whether foreign investors can access the stock.
As a result, these firms may attract more investment from international index funds and ETFs that track FTSE indices. Since these funds automatically buy all index constituents, the inclusion can lead to higher global demand for the stocks.
