Sebi revises norms for converting private listed InvITs into public
PTI
New Delhi, Aug 9 (PTI) Sebi has revised the framework for converting private listed Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) into public InvITs, streamlining sponsor holding norms and aligning disclosure requirements with follow-on offers.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said the changes, effective immediately, are based on market feedback and recommendations of the Hybrid Securities Advisory Committee.
Under the revised framework, sponsors and their groups must comply with the minimum unitholding requirements specified in the InvIT regulations at all times.
The lock-in on such units will also be as per the regulations, the regulator said in a circular on Friday.
The market regulator has also modified the procedural and disclosure norms for public offers during conversion to bring them in line with those applicable for follow-on offers.
Accordingly, InvITs will have to adhere to the follow-on offer requirements under InvIT rules and related circulars, including any amendments.
These changes will replace earlier references to 'initial offers" with 'follow-on offers" in several provisions of Sebi's norms for InvITs issued in May 2024, as per the circular.
The revised framework, effective immediately, aims to protect investor interests, promote market development and ensure regulatory consistency.
Sebi has directed recognised stock exchanges and the Bharat InvITs Association to disseminate the updated norms on their websites. PTI HG TRB

Tariffs on India's oil imports big blow to Moscow, says Trump ahead of Alaska talks
Ahead of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska, US President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that US tariffs on India for buying Russian oil have delivered a "big blow" to Moscow's economy, calling New Delhi one of Russia's "largest or second-largest oil buyers."Speaking at a White House press conference, Trump said Russia's economy was "not doing well" and had been "very well disturbed" by the combined effect of American trade duties and global think Russia has to get back into building their country. It's a massive country... They have tremendous potential in Russia to do well," he said. "They're not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this," news agency PTI quoted him as saying. The president pointed directly to India's energy purchases from Russia as a pressure point. "Doesn't help when the President of the United States tells their largest or second-largest oil buyer that we're putting a 50% tariff on you if you buy oil from Russia. That was a big blow," Trump said, in an apparent reference to India. Trump administration has imposed 25% reciprocal tariffs on India, plus an additional 25% levy on its purchases of Russian oil -- a total 50% tariff. India strongly condemned the tariff hike, calling it "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable."TRUMP, PUTIN TO MEET IN ALASKA FOR PEACE TALKSThe US president confirmed that he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. "I thought it was very respectful that the President of Russia is coming to our country, as opposed to us going to his country or even a third-party place. But I think we'll have constructive conversations," he said.#WATCH | Washington, DC | On Russia-Ukraine war and meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump says, "This could have been a third world war...

Trump Signs Executive Order Extending Tariff Truce Deadline With China By 90 Days
The executive order was issued a day after President Trump urged China to significantly increase its purchases of US soybeans. US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on Monday, extending the tariff truce deadline with China by 90 days, Reuters reported, citing a White House official. The order follows high-level talks between top officials from both countries, who met in Stockholm in July to explore the possibility of shifting the deadline to reach a negotiated agreement on tariffs. A White House official confirmed the latest decision, which came just hours before US tariffs on Chinese goods were due to revert to triple-digit rates. The previously agreed tariff truce between Beijing and Washington was scheduled to expire at 00:01 ET on Tuesday. The executive order, signed on Monday, was issued a day after President Trump urged China to significantly increase its purchases of US soybeans by as much as fourfold. At the same time, Washington has been pressuring Beijing to halt imports of Russian oil, with Trump warning of potential secondary tariffs on Chinese entities found violating the directive. When asked by reporters during a press conference on Monday whether he intended to extend the deadline, Trump responded, 'We'll see what happens. They've been dealing quite nicely. The relationship is very good with President Xi (Jinping) and myself." Without the order being passed, US tariffs on Chinese goods would have surged by 145%, while Chinese tariffs on American goods were set to rise to 125%. At present, imports from China into the US are subject to a 30% tariff, which includes a 10% base rate and an additional 20% imposed in relation to fentanyl-related policy measures. These rates were implemented by Washington earlier this year, between February and March. In response, China currently levies a 10% tariff on goods imported from the US. Both nations have made repeated efforts in recent months to reach a consensus on tariff policy, following the imposition of reciprocal triple-digit tariffs. In May, during a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, the two sides agreed on a temporary truce, initiating a 90-day period for continued negotiations. They met again in Stockholm, Sweden, in late July, although no official extension was announced at the time. However, both parties described the talks as constructive, signalling the possibility of a truce extension. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
