SEBI allows short selling by institutional investors
Stock Exchange Board of India (SEBI) decided to allow short selling by institutional investors, hitherto only retail investors were allowed to short sell.
With a view to provide a mechanism for borrowing of securities to enable settlement of securities sold short, it has also been decided to put in place a full-fledged securities lending and borrowing (SLB) scheme for all market participants in the Indian securities market.
The Stock Exchanges and the Depositories have been advised to put necessary systems in place in this regard.
According to the broad framework announced by SEBI, `Short Selling` will be defined as selling a stock that the seller does not own at the time of trade. All classes of investors, viz., retail and institutional investors, will be permitted to short sell.
Further , naked short selling will not be permitted in the Indian securities market and accordingly, all investors would be required to mandatory honour their obligation of delivering the securities at the time of settlement. No institutional investor will be allowed to do day trading i.e., square off their transactions intra-day.
Appropriate action needs to be taken against the brokers for failure to deliver securities at the time of settlement, which shall act as a sufficient deterrent against failure to deliver.To provide with necessary impetus to short sell, a scheme for Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) should be in place simultaneous with the introduction of short selling by institutional investors.Those securities that will be traded in F&O segment will be eligible for short selling. Also, at the time of placement of order whether the transaction is a short sale, institutional investors need to disclose upfront
However, retail investors would be permitted to make a similar disclosure by the end of the trading hours on the transaction day.
The brokers shall be mandated to collect the details on scrip-wise short sell positions, collate the data and upload it to the stock exchanges before the commencement of trading on the following trading day. The stock exchanges shall then consolidate such information and disseminate the same on their websites for the information of the public on a weekly basis.The frequency of such disclosure may be reviewed from time to time with

Tata Group, easily India's most respected business house, has been named the world's third most accountable and transparent company by Britain's One World Trust although US hotel chain Orient-Express has not found it worthy of an alliance.According to Rob Lloyd, the report's lead author, the assessment is a measure of the extent to which organisations have the policies and systems in place to enhance consistent and coherent accountability to the people they affect."The report ranked GE and GlaxoSmithKline [Get Quote] number one and two most transparent and accountable companies.Tata Group, was however, considered ahead of Coca-Cola, Petrobras, HSBC Holdings, PriceWaterCooopers International and Google, when measured on the parameters of transparency and accountable leadership among global companies.

Sarin, Nooyi among worlds 20 best biz leaders : Sify
Sarin, Nooyi among world's best biz leaders
Reaffirming the now unmistakable presence of Indians in the World Inc, two multinationals PepsiCo and Vodafone, which are headed by people of Indian origin, have found a place in a list of the world's 20 best companies for leaders.
While Chennai-born Indra Nooyi is the Chairman and CEO of soft drink major PepsiCo, Arun Sarin, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, is the CEO of the world's second largest mobile operator Vodafone.
Vodafone debuted at 20th rank in this year's list, prepared by consulting firm Hay Group and Chief Executive Magazine. PepsiCo is down to 7th position from its third rank last year.
In the 2006 list, Citigroup, now headed by another Indian origin banker Vikram Pandit, was ranked at fourth. However, it does not find a place in this year's list. Nagpur-born Pandit was named as the CEO of Citigroup earlier this month, after his predecessor Charles Price stepped down last month.
American conglomerate General Electric (GE) has topped the list for the second year in a row, while Procter & Gamble has retained its second position this year.
• Check out our Yearender Special
The maximum number of companies are from the US (11), while eight are from Europe and one from Asia. There is not a single Indian company on the list. The annual survey considered a total 790 companies, that included 47.1 per cent headquartered in Europe, 31.2 per cent in North America, 15 per cent in Asia-Pacific, and the rest in Middle-East, Africa and South and Central America.
GE and P&G are followed by Johnson and Johnson, Unilever and Coca-Cola in the top five. Others are Siemens (6), L'Oreal (8), Toyota (9), HP (10), GlaxoSmithKline (11), Novartis (12), Pfizer (13), HSBC (14), 3M Co (15), Eli Lily (16), BASF (17), McDonald's (18) and Amgen (19).

Sensex ends 71 pts up : Sify Finance
Sensex ends 71 pts up
Sensex gains 71 pts amid FII pullout
Sensex ends up 71pts; IFCI drops 23%
NSE 5766.50 15.35
Information technology stocks opened on a bright note and stayed firm right till the end even as stocks from other sectors had a choppy outing as investors appeared highly reluctant to carry home positions ahead of a long weekend. The somewhat subdued trend in global markets also appeared to have forced the participants on to a slightly defensive approach today.
The Sensex, which opened with a positive gap of nearly 120 points at 19,210.22, hit a high of 19,291.14 in intra-day trades and settled at 19,162.57 with a gain of 70.61 points or 0.375. The Nifty ended with a gain of 0.27% or 15.35 points at 5766.50, well down from a high of 5799.50 it had touched in afternoon trade.
While the BSE IT index ended stronger by 3.34%, the Teck index, which has software, media and telecom stocks in its fold, moved up by around 1.5%. The Capital Goods and FMCG indices declined sharply. PSU, Power, Oil & Gas, Bankex, CD and HC indices also ended in the negative territory.
A number of midcap and smallcap stocks went down on sustained selling in afternoon trade.
Satyam Computer Services, which moved up by nearly 6%, was the biggest gainer in the Sensex today. Infosys Technologies, contributing significantly to the market's positive close, gained 3.7%. Tata Consultancy Services surged 2.35% while Wipro, which remained somewhat subdued for a better part of the day, ended with a sharp gain of 1.8%.
Power stock Reliance Energy gained more than 3%. Automobile major Tata Motors rallied 2.9% to Rs 824.80. Mahindra & Mahindra advanced by a little over a percent. Realty stock DLF gained 1.1%.
Bajaj Auto, Bharti Airtel, ONGC, State Bank of India and Reliance Industries finished with modest gains while Hindustan Unilever, Hindalco and Tata Steel edged up marginally.
ACC (down 2.75%), Cipla (down 2%), ITC (down 1.65%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (down 1.65%) and BHEL (down 1.3%) closed with sharp losses. Grasim Industries, HDFC, Reliance Communications and HDFC Bank eased by 0.5% - 1%. Larsen & Toubro, ICICI Bank and Maruti Suzuki also ended weak. Ambuja Cements and NTPC ended almost unchanged from their previous closing levels.
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, HCL Technologies, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Cairn India, BPCL, SAIL and Tata Power were among the major gainers from the Nifty. GlaxoSmithKline Pharma ended with a sharp loss of 5.6%. VSNL, a big gainer yesterday, lost 4.65% on profit taking. Suzlon Energy, ABB, Zee Entertainment, Hero Honda, GAIL India, Reliance Petroleum and Nalco also closed with sharp losses.
IFCI plunged sharply and ended lower by 23.25% at Rs 76.85 on sustained selling today. The stock got hammered due to the company calling off its stake sale plan after talks with the Sterlite-Morgan Stanley combine ended in disagreements over the price and management control.
IFCI opened at Rs 98 - it remained its high for the day - and hit a low of Rs 71.05 before settling for the day at Rs 76.85 with a big loss. On the National Stock Exchange, the IFCI counter recorded a turnover of Rs 1104.75 crore on a volume of around 143 million shares.
The market breadth, which remained positive till around mid afternoon, turned negative as the session progressed. Out of 2950 stocks traded on BSE today, 1755 stocks closed with losses. 1164 stocks finished on a positive note and 31 stocks ended at their previous closing levels.

IFCI sale falls through on management control : ET
IFCI sale falls through on management control
IFCI calls off stake sale process
The Economic Times
NEW DELHI: It's official now. The IFCI board on Monday called off the sale of 26% of its equity to its only bidder — Sterlite and Morgan Stanley — over irreconcilable differences regarding the degree of management control. The way forward is still not clear for IFCI, which had planned to rope in a strategic partner to fund its future business. India’s oldest development financial institution is facing a resource crunch.
On the future course of action, Atul Rai, CMD IFCI conceded that there is need for capital for IFCI. “There is no possibility for a re-bid in this format. There has to be a certain time lapse before the system can gear up for a re-bid. This proposition has not made sense to 10 of the best bidders in the world; it will not change substantially very soon.” This comes even as the Wilbur Ross consortium is understood to be making efforts to renegotiate with IFCI to put in a bid. But officials maintain, legally, IFCI cannot entertain any offers from this process.
The consortium headed by Mr Ross comprised of Standard Chartered bank, Goldman Sachs and HDFC, and did not put in its bid after conducting due diligence. Said Mr Rai: “There is disappointment that the entire effort that lasted six months did not translate into a deal. But the board was not agreeable to the conditional offer made by the only bidder. From the perspective of the investor, they had a certain set of conditions and they are answerable to their shareholders, but it could not be accommodated by IFCI since it changed the nature of the transaction.”
While IFCI offered two seats on the eight-member board, the bidder wanted three. Sterlite also wanted to replace the CEO — a non-negotiable condition. Sources said, Sterlite wanted far greater control for the 26% sale in return for paying more than $1 billion, at Rs 110 a share. “Rights of minority shareholders could have been jeopardised in the long term. The exclusivity of control that they sought was unacceptable to the board.
If the board had spelt out these additional conditions in the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage, IFCI could have attracted more bidders at a higher price.” “We have made our best offer for IFCI to achieve the objective, such as making IFCI a world class institution, retaining existing talent, bringing in new talent and more expertise. We respect the government’s decision not to go ahead with the strategic sale,” an official statement from Sterlite said.
A senior government official, however, said there was no direct intervention from the government. “IFCI is a quasi-government institution and government guidelines apply to it. Under the Chief Vigilance Commission’s (CVC) guideline, a single bidder with a conditional offer cannot be appointed as an investor. Several conditions made by Sterlite were non-negotiable.” He also said that government was open to supporting IFCI in future.
The process that was kicked off earlier this year helped boost IFCI’s stock price from Rs 12 in January to Rs 121 earlier this week. The sale was fraught with uncertainties till the last minute with respect to capital structure and regulatory issues, among others. Detractors were crying hoarse on the non-transparency of the process. During the entire course of events, rumours were rife that the sale would never take place. Along the way, IFCI allowed creditor banks to convert their debt worth Rs 1,479 crore into equity. There was no clarity on the status of the government’s loan to IFCI before the bids closed.

How will IFCI fare once market opens?
Moneycontrol.com
IFCI has said that it has scrapped the entire plan to sell 26% stake. IFCI will not pursue its stake sale talks with any bidders. Atul Rai of IFCI told CNBC-TV18 he was disappointed with the outcome but not surprised. The management of Sterlite said it respects IFCI board decision.CNBC-TV18's Sajeet Manghat analyses the implication of this move on the stock.
According to Manghat, one needs to look at it from two aspects. IFCI converted nearly Rs 1,300 crore of debt, which was held between financial institutions like LIC, GIC and some of the public sector banks into equity. The conversion price was Rs 107 per share, as per the Sebi convergent formula.
Now, post the stake sale being put off, we are going to see a fall in share price tomorrow. Grey market sources said that the stock is quoting somewhere around Rs 75-80, added Manghat.
People are willing to sell at that price but there are no buyers to take that stock at Rs 75-80. But the bigger loss would be for the banks and financial institutions, who will be converting their equity at a higher price of Rs 107 and get stuck with the equity, because the stock price would come down tomorrow, he commented.
