Two months to the day that Royal Mail made its debut on the stock market it was confirmed on Wednesday that it will join the blue chip FTSE 100 index. The share price of the postal firm has nearly doubled since its high profile partial-privatisation which has forced the government to defend itself against criticism it sold the company too cheaply.During the quarterly reshuffle of the main stock market indices, Royal Mail will be joined in the FTSE 100 by industrials company Ashtead. The companies will replace Indian miner Vedanta and speciality chemicals maker Croda in the index of the 100 most valuable companies on the stock market. Vedanta has dropped out after seven years.
