The Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange have removed three Adani group firms from the ASM or additional surveillance framework: Adani Transmission, Adani Green Energy, and Adani Total Gas. The ASM framework is intended to enhance market integrity and protect the interests of investors. Certain criteria, including volatility, volume variation, and price, led to the move. The exit from the MSCI Global Standard Index is expected to lead to outflows worth $201m for Adani Transmission and $186m for Adani Total Gas, with both companies expected to lose 18 million shares.

The legal proceedings with the State Bank of India is underway, PC Jeweller noted.

“Retail investors participation into these sectors (midcaps and smallcaps) have largely been aided through the IPOs which are back on track, as also with the basket-based portfolio opportunities that are provided by various platforms,” said Anand Varadarajan, director at Asit C. Mehta Financial Services.
