Nifty 50 September Rejig

Defence PSU stock Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and Tata Group company Trent will enter the NSE's benchmark Nifty 50 index in its September reshuffle.

On the contrary, LTIMindtree and Divi's Laboratories are likely to be excluded from the Nifty 50 index.

These changes would lead to an inflow worth US$ 500 million (m) in Trent and US$ 440 m in BEL.

The counters will have a weight of 1.4% and 0.9% respectively.

LTIMindtree and Divi's Laboratories are estimated to witness an outflow of US$ 210 million and US$ 260 million, respectively.

The Index Maintenance Sub-Committee (Equity) of NSE Indices has decided to change various Nifty equity indices as part of the semi-annual review of broad market indices.

Only stocks available for trading in NSE's Futures & Options (F&0) segment are eligible for inclusion in the Nifty 50 index.

More than 70 stocks currently qualify for F&O inclusions based on the quantitative criteria but have not made the cut as the capital markets regulator has yet to approve them.

RITES Consortium Emerges as Lowest Bidder

A RITES Ltd-led consortium has emerged as the lowest bidder in a tender floated by Delhi Metro Rail Corp and valued at Rs 875.8 m.

Of the total tender value, the share of RITES is 49%, or approximately Rs 429.1 m, including goods and services tax.

The consortium is required to execute the order within three years from the date of issuance of letter of award.

The state-owned undertaking recently announced a 1:1 bonus share allotment and a final dividend of Rs 5 per share for eligible shareholders. The PSU's stock price has gained over 45% so far this year.

RITES, formerly known as Rail India Technical and Economic Service Limited, is a Navratna central public sector undertaking under India's Ministry of Railways.

It was incorporated in 1974 and is a multidisciplinary engineering and consultancy organisation providing a comprehensive range of services from concept to commissioning in all facets of transport infrastructure and related technologies.

The company is a leading player in the transport consultancy and engineering sector in India.

HDFC to Reduce Credit Book

Indian lender HDFC Bank Ltd. has sold a housing loan portfolio of about Rs 60 bn (US$ 717 m), seeking to further lighten its credit load amid regulatory pressures on the industry.

The portfolio was sold to about half a dozen state-controlled banks through private deals.

The Mumbai-based bank also unloaded another pool of car loans worth about Rs 90.6 billion, securitized in a fixed-income product called pass-through certificates.

The lender had been engaged in talks to offload the pool to about a dozen local asset management companies.

The deals confirm India's largest bank in market value is intensifying efforts to shrink its retail loan portfolio amid heightened regulatory pressure to improve the sector's credit-deposit ratios - a measure of how much of an institution's deposits are being lent out.

The portfolio sales would help HDFC Bank improve its ratio which has worsened in recent years as credit growth outpaced deposits in the nation and following its merger with mortgage lender Housing Development Finance Corp.

The buyers who subscribed to the pass-through certificates, backed by HDFC's car loans, included ICICI Prudential AMC, Nippon Life India Asset Management Ltd., SBI Funds Management Pvt. and Kotak Mahindra Asset Management.

The certificates offered yields in the range of 8.0% to 8.2% monthly for three tranches.
