MSCI adds Coromandel International and Nykaa to Global Standard Index
ADVERTISEMENT MSCI's index changes result in passive flows because trillions of dollars in global funds track its benchmarks. When a stock is added or removed, index-linked ETFs and mutual funds are forced to buy or sell to mirror the index composition.
MSCI made cuts in its India Small Cap Index, deleting 22 stocks while adding 11. The removals from the index could be one of the highest in recent times.
"In recent times, more small-cap companies were being added to the MSCI small-cap index. This time, we have seen more deletions than additions, possibly because of a reversal in the trend in small caps," said IIFL's senior vice president, Sriram Velayudhan.
Acme Solar, Tata Technologies, Godrej Agrovet, and Hexaware Technologies are among the 11 stocks to be added to the small-cap index. Godrej Industries, Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals and Aarti Drugs are among the 22 deletions. IIFL said Coromandel's inclusion would result in flows of $227 million, while Nykaa would receive $181 million.

In addition, MSCI said the weightage of Cipla, Indus Towers and Grasim Industries has gone up in the Global Standard Index. This would lead to inflows of $45 million, $40 million and $16 million, respectively, IIFL said. The weightage of Astral went down, which may lead to an outflow of $15 million from the stock.
India's weight in the Global Standard Index was 19.4% as on the cutoff date.

RERA to issue warrants to recover 90 crore in Palais Royale dispute
Mumbai: The MahaRERA adjudicating officer has issued four orders to issue warrants for recovery of interest amounting to about Rs 90 crore from Honest Shelters Pvt Ltd, the present promoters of the Palais Royale project at Worli. The orders, which are with respect to four flats in the project, have been passed after IIFL Finance Ltd filed an application regarding non-compliance of a Jan 16 order. The adjudicating officer also passed orders to issue warrants for recovery of interest for delayed possession with regard to three other flats of IIFL in the same project. The adjudicating officer, Ashok Alaspurkar, passed the orders on different dates, including Aug 4, July 28 and July 27, for the issue of warrants to recover varying interest amounts against the promoter in connection with the seven flats of IIFL Finance. Earlier, on Jan 16, MahaRERA had issued a common order directing Honest Shelters to hand over possession of the flats in the project IIFL Finance Ltd to pay interest for delayed possession of the flats, and also directed the official liquidator to hand over possession of the flats in his custody to the promoter for completion of construction.

The adjudicating officer stated that, considering the facts and circumstances, the Jan 16 order must be implemented as per its operative directions. He held that the complainant is entitled to interest on amounts paid for the various flats until Jan 16, and also to further interest from Jan 17 until handing over possession after obtaining occupation certificate. The Palais Royale project was acquired by Honest Shelters from Shree Ram Urban Infrastructure following an auction conducted by Indiabulls Housing Finance in 2019. IIFL acquired the flats from the original purchasers through a deed of transfer cum assignment for breach of the terms and conditions of the mortgage deeds relating to the flats. MahaRERA concluded that the former allottees of IIFL flats had fully paid for their flats as per agreements and that IIFL is an allottee in respect of the said flats, further holding that the promoter failed to hand over possession along with the occupancy certificate by the date specified in the agreements.
