Tata Consumer Products will replace state-owned Gail India in the benchmark Nifty 50 index. The change will take effect on March 31. The move is expected to result in passive inflows of $89 million (Rs 650 crore) in Tata Consumer. Gail, on the other hand, could see outflows of $57 million (Rs 410 crore). On Tuesday, the free float market capitalisation –a key criterion for index inclusion—of Tata Consumer and Gail stood at Rs 36,989 crore and Rs 30,570 crore.
