NSE Indices, a subsidiary of the National Stock Exchange, has launched two new thematic indices - Nifty Sugar & Ethanol and Nifty Small Finance Banks & Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) - to track the performance of key sectors within the Indian economy.

The Nifty Sugar & Ethanol Index comprises 15 stocks from the FMCG sector that are directly engaged in sugar or ethanol manufacturing and production. The index is designed to track the performance of the largest eligible companies based on six-month average free-float market capitalisation.

The Nifty Small Finance Banks & Microfinance Institutions Index includes 10 listed small finance banks and microfinance institutions and aims to capture the performance of the most liquid stocks in the segment.

For both indices, the weight of each constituent is based on free-float market capitalisation, subject to a maximum cap of 15% per stock. The indices have a base date of 31 March 2021 and a base value of 1,000.

As of 29 May 2026, the Nifty Sugar & Ethanol Index delivered a total return of 18.98% since inception (31 March 2021). Over the past five years, the index generated a total return of 11.24%. However, it declined 9.42% on a one-year basis.

The Nifty Small Finance Banks & Microfinance Institutions Index posted a total return of 5.37% since inception (31 March 2021). The index delivered a one-year return of 14.79%, while its five-year return stood at 7.07%.

The indices will be reconstituted semi-annually and rebalanced quarterly in March, June, September and December. NSE Indices said the benchmarks are expected to support the development of passive investment products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), index funds and structured products, while also serving as reference benchmarks for asset managers.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a new framework for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), revising norms related to base price determination, price bands, pre-open call auctions and close-out procedures.

The regulator said the changes are aimed at addressing issues arising from the one-day lag in ETF base prices and the mismatch between existing price bands and movements in underlying assets.

Under the new framework, the base price for ETFs will be the previous day`s closing price, calculated as the last 30-minute volume weighted average price (VWAP). If no trades occur during the last 30 minutes, the last traded price will be used. If there are no trades on the previous day, the latest available net asset value (NAV) will serve as the base price.

SEBI said stock exchanges and mutual fund houses should work towards using the previous day`s closing NAV as the base price from 1 April 2027.

For equity ETFs and debt ETFs, excluding overnight and liquid ETFs, SEBI has introduced dynamic price bands. The initial price band will be set at 10% and can be expanded up to 20% after a 15-minute cooling-off period if prices hit the upper or lower thresholds.

The regulator said the revised norms were finalised after recommendations from stock exchanges, discussions in SEBI`s Secondary Market Advisory Committee and feedback received through public consultation.

The new framework is intended to improve price discovery, align ETF trading mechanisms more closely with underlying asset movements and enhance market efficiency.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed a mechanism to harmonize price bands and pre-open auction base prices for stocks listed on multiple exchanges.

The proposal seeks to address situations where a stock trades on one exchange but records no trades on another. In such cases, differences in closing prices can lead to varying price bands for the same stock across exchanges.

Under the proposed framework, exchanges will continue to use their respective closing prices when a stock trades on all exchanges or does not trade on any exchange.

If a stock trades on only one exchange, other exchanges where no trading occurred will use the closing price of the exchange where the stock was traded to determine the next day`s price band and pre-open auction base price.

In cases where a stock trades on two or more exchanges but remains inactive on one or more exchanges, the non-trading exchanges will use the closing price from the exchange that recorded the highest trading volume in that stock.

SEBI said the proposal aims to ensure greater consistency in price bands and improve price discovery across exchanges.

To facilitate implementation, stock exchanges will be required to establish arrangements for sharing closing price data with one another.

The market regulator has invited public comments on the proposal until 2 July 2026.
