According to analysts, potential passive outflows from MSCI and FTSE changes could put further pressure on the stock. MSCI deletion alone could result in outflows of around $330 million, while FTSE-related outflows are estimated at around $110 million over time. 

Separately, NSDL has updated Swiggy's foreign portfolio investor limit to 49.5% from 100%. With foreign ownership already close to the revised limit, the stock has limited headroom for incremental FPI buying, adding to the near-term pressure on sentiment.
