Shares of Hesai Group, Pony AI, and SenseTime rose after they were added to the MSCI China Index following a review.

The gains came after the MSCI China Index released the results of its February review. Thirty seven companies, the majority of them A-shares, will be added to the MSCI China All Shares Index effective from the market's close on February 27, the statement said.

The Index also removed 16 companies including Great Wall Motor, CGN Power, China Vanke, Flat Glass Group, among others.

Hesai Group's shares rose 7.1% in Hong Kong to 214.40 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to $27.42 while Pony AI gained 2.5% and SenseTime Group rose 2.5%.

Many advanced technology stocks were among the 37 added, concentrated in semiconductor and related materials, AI and autonomous driving, telecom equipment, new energy materials and critical metals as well as high-end manufacturing and industrial equipment. These sectors are the key industries viewed by Beijing to be strategically important areas.

On the other hand, many of the companies removed from the index were from traditional sectors including property, conventional manufacturing, among others.
