No impact on other government bond indices
The announcement does not make changes to all fixed-income indices. No changes will be made to the Nifty India Government Fully Accessible Route (FAR) Select 7 Bonds Index, in INR and USD, or the Nifty 5yr Benchmark G-sec Index.This means the current review is limited in scope and focuses only on indices where adjustments to short-term government securities were considered necessary. Such changes are generally relevant to bond investors, fund managers and index-based products because they affect tracking portfolios and benchmark alignment.
