AMFI to Update Market-Cap Categories; Vedanta Aluminium Expected as Large Cap
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) is expected to announce its semi-annual market-cap categorisation in early July, effective August 1, 2026. Following Vedanta's June demerger, Vedanta Aluminium is likely to be classified as a large-cap stock, while Vedanta Power, Oil Gas, and Iron Steel may fall under small-cap. Nuvama Institutional Equities projects the large-cap cut-off at around Rs 1.07 trillion, with several other stocks like BSE and Vodafone Idea also poised for large-cap entry. These changes will guide mutual fund managers' portfolio adjustments.
