Stocks In News: Reliance Industries, JSW Steel, South Indian Bank And More

Reliance Industries

Jio Financial Services is set to be delisted from multiple FTSE Indices due to its failure to commence trading within 20 business days. FTSE Russell’s notification indicated that the company hadn’t provided a confirmed trading date since its inclusion on July 20. This exclusion will take effect from August 22. The announcement coincides with Reliance Industries Ltd’s efforts to list shares from its financial services arm. Earlier reports suggested that a listing date could be revealed around the time of the company’s upcoming annual general meeting.

ACC/Nykaa/HDFC AMC/PNB/Trent

The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) announced adjustments to its primary indices on August 17th. These adjustments entail the removal of ACC, Nykaa, and HDFC Asset Management Company (HDFC AMC) from the Nifty Next 50 index, effective from September 29th. Additionally, Indus Towers and Page Industries will also be replaced in the Nifty Next 50. In their stead, Punjab National Bank, Shriram Finance, Trent, TVS Motor, and Zydus Lifesciences will be added.

JSW Steel

According to a Bloomberg report, JSW Steel Ltd is contemplating acquiring a 75% stake in Teck Resources’ steelmaking coal business, Elk Valley Resources. An earlier July report from Bloomberg had hinted at JSW’s interest in up to 20% of Teck’s coal business. The potential transaction could value the coal business at $8 billion, setting it in competition with a previous bid by Swiss commodities giant Glencore. While Teck confirmed having received indications of interest in its coal operations, the report did not disclose the parties involved.
