Sebi plans bigger institutional role in public offers by small firms, sources say
SEBI is considering new regulations for SME public offerings, including mandatory institutional investor quotas, higher listing size thresholds, and stricter profitability criteria. These proposed changes aim to curb fund diversion and excessive fees while strengthening corporate governance and investor protection in the small-cap segment. The move reflects regulatory focus on improving market integrity for emerging companies. This development is significant for exams covering financial sector reforms and capital market regulation.
