NSE revokes IREDA’s inclusion in key indices on non-compliance with SEBI norms; shares fall 3%

The NSE revoked the inclusion of IREDA in several key indices due to the firm’s non-compliance with SEBI portfolio concentration norms.

At 10.15 am, IREDA stock fell 3.2 percent to quote Rs 125.2 apiece on the NSE.

“As IREDA breached one of the requirements of SEBI Portfolio Concentration Norms for Equity Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Index Funds related to impact cost, the committee has decided to revoke its earlier decision to include IREDA announced on February 28, 2024,” said the NSE in a press release.

Therefore, IREDA will no longer be included in the Nifty 500, Nifty Midcap 150, Nifty Midcap 100, Nifty 200, Nifty LargeMidcap 250, Nifty MidSmallcap 400, Nifty Total Market and the Nifty500 Multicap 50:25:25 indices.

The decision was to come into effect from March 28, 2024, however, the counters being excluded following IREDA’s entry will now remain a part of the indices.

Instead of IREDA, V-Guard Industries will see its exclusion revoked and remain a part of the Nifty 500, Nifty Smallcap 250, and Nifty MidSmallcap 400.
