Mindspace Reit raises Rs 550 cr via sustainability-linked bonds from IFC
K Raheja Corp-backed Mindspace Business Parks real estate investment trust (Reit) has raised Rs 550 crore through sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector investment arm of the World Bank Group. This follows the Reit's initial Rs 650-crore SLB issuance in June 2024, bringing the total SLB issuance to Rs 1,200 crore. The Rs 650-crore bond was also subscribed by IFC. This is the first SLB issuance by an Indian Reit under the new environment, social and governance (ESG) framework introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in June 2025, the Reit said. The allotted SLBs have a tenure of eight years and are rated 'AAA (Stable)' by Icra, a ratings agency. In May 2025, Mindspace Reit had approved raising Rs 1,800 crore through a fresh issuance of non-convertible debt securities or commercial papers in one or more tranches. Ramesh Nair, managing director and chief executive officer, Mindspace Reit, said: 'With this issuance, we're taking a big step forward on our sustainability journey. Being the first Reit to raise sustainability-linked bonds under Sebi's new ESG framework shows our intent to lead from the front. Partnering with IFC gives us global backing, and it will help us drive energy efficiency, add more green-certified space, and build a portfolio that's ready for the future.' The SLB is directly tied to measurable ESG performance targets, ensuring accountability and impact. These include a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, an increase in the share of green-certified areas under management, and a reduction in energy intensity. Imad Fakhoury, regional director for South Asia, IFC, said: 'IFC is pleased to deepen its partnership with Mindspace Reit through an additional investment, fuelling the growth of Reits as an asset class and strengthening India's real estate sector. By championing sustainable buildings and innovative financing, we are creating opportunities for developers, investors and communities. This investment will accelerate the development of world-class office infrastructure that generates jobs, attracts global capability centres and top employers, and strengthens India's business environment.'

Pay Rs 25,000 Each To Students Served Meals Soiled By Dog: Court To Chhattisgarh
Bilaspur: The Chhattisgarh High Court has directed the state government to pay within a month Rs 25,000 each to the students who consumed mid-day meals soiled by a dog at a middle school in Balodabazar-Bhatapara district last month. A division bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Bibhu Datta Guru, in an order delivered on Tuesday, highlighted negligence on the part of the government in the entire episode and expressed the hope that authorities will be more vigilant and careful in providing mid-day meals to students. While awarding the compensation to 84 pupils, the bench did not take into account the state's argument that the affected students of the government school were administered three doses of anti-rabies vaccine, and they were found to be fit after a subsequent health check-up. The HC gave the ruling after taking suo motu (on its own) cognisance of the matter as a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and sought an affidavit from the state government. According to an inquiry report submitted by the government in the HC, the incident took place on July 28 at the government middle school located in Lachchhanpur village in Balodabazar-Bhatapara district. The report, citing statements of the students, said a dog soiled the food distributed under the mid-day meal scheme. A self-help group (SHG) prepares food items served to students under the scheme at the school. The students alerted teachers, who advised SHG members not to distribute the dog-soiled food, but their directive was ignored. Despite a complaint made to the school headmaster, soiled eatables were not removed from the meal and subsequently consumed by the students, it said. The Chief Medical and Health Officer, Balodabazar-Bhatapara, later submitted a report, according to which, up to August 8, three doses of anti-rabies vaccine had been administered to 84 children, it said. According to the CMHO's report, all the affected pupils were found to be medically fit after a health check-up and were regularly attending the school. However, as a precaution, the children have been kept under continuous observation of Primary Health Centre personnel at Lachchhanpur. The SHG has been removed from the work of preparing mid-day meals at the school and barred from availing any further governmental benefits. The school's in-charge Principal Santosh Kumar Sahu, Cluster Principal, In-charge Headmaster, teachers and Cluster Coordinator were suspended via an order dated August 6, the government report said. In the aftermath of the incident, the Balodabazar-Bhatapara collector, in a letter addressed to school education department officials, issued directions related to the preparation and distribution of mid-day meals. The Directorate of School Education has also issued guidelines to District Education Officers, asking them to ensure maintenance of cleanliness and hygiene, undertake regular quality and safety checks after preparation of food items and follow prescribed standards mandated under the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman Yojana. The state government told the court that no compensation was given to the affected students as they were found to be fit after a health check-up. However, the bench noted, "Because it was an institution of the government and SHG was assigned to provide mid-day meal, but the said mid-day meal was soiled by a dog and it was unfit for consumption for the students of the school. "And though three doses of anti-rabies has been administered to 84 children of the school, it was negligent on the part of the state to take care that the food which was being offered in the mid-day meal by the SHG to the children of middle school, we deem it proper that Rs 25,000 be paid by the state to each of the student of the concerned middle school, who had consumed the said meal, within one month from today." The HC further observed, "We hope and trust that the state would be more vigilant and careful in providing mid-day meals to the children studying in government schools."

Post real money gaming bill, questions aplenty for Indian cricket
IPL may feel aftershocks One of the knock-on effects of a blanket ban could be felt by Indian cricket, especially the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL). Various IPL teams as well as the competition itself are tied up with various real money gaming firms, including Dream XI and My11Circle. Even if Indian cricket will not have a lot of problems onboarding new sponsors — if they want to go down that path — there may be some short term pain. "Fantasy gaming platforms like My11Circle and Dream11 have become heavyweight backers of Indian sports," said Santosh N, managing partner of D & P Advisory, an independent valuation company. "My11Circle has committed Rs 625 cr for an IPL associate sponsorship slot, while Dream11 has consistently backed franchises such as Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Sunrisers Hyderabad as title or principal sponsors. My11Circle is currently an IPL associate sponsor at the league level, contributing a large share of central sponsorship revenue. Separately, Dream11 has team-level sponsorships, serving as Title Partner and Principal Partners for some teams. Together, fantasy sports brands account for hundreds of crores in sponsorship inflows, making IPL one of the most exposed properties to a potential ban." Dream11, as it stands, is the Indian team's 'lead sponsor' but that is scheduled to end after next year's men's T20 World Cup. "Banning it would strip IPL and many smaller leagues of vital funding, compress marketing budgets, and likely curb the steady upward trend in sponsorship revenues." Santosh added. My11Circle also counts a number of active Indian cricketers as their brand ambassadors. Per the bill, they can't endorse any of these products. Set for a challenge? If and when it becomes law, the gaming companies may decide to challenge its constitutionality. Sports lawyers this newspaper spoke to said that fantasy games like Dream11 are 'games of skill' according to a Supreme Court judgment a few years earlier. A Dream11 spokesperson 'declined to comment' for multiple questions raised by this mast. The bill caught a lot of industry stakeholders off guard, especially because this government's previous moves with respect to the online gaming industry was seen as favouring them. It's been reported that the government are now citing national security as well as social issues for this step.
