The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) announced plans to enhance transparency by publishing daily trends in domestic institutional investor (DII) investments. This initiative, developed in collaboration with custodians and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), will categorize investment data for mutual funds, alternative investment funds (AIFs), banks, and insurance companies. Currently, NSDL only reports mutual fund data, while stock exchanges provide aggregate DII flows. This change aims to standardize and improve market data dissemination. Concurrently, Sebi has proposed easing distribution norms for infrastructure investment trusts (Invits), allowing them to include debt-funded major maintenance expenses in their cash calculations for unitholders. This proposal, detailed in a consultation paper, seeks to address longstanding concerns within the industry. In a related development, Laser Power & Infra has reduced its initial public offering (IPO) size to ₹742 crore from ₹1,200 crore, taking advantage of Sebi's new framework that permits companies to adjust issue sizes without resubmitting draft documents.
