Regulator Addresses Concerns Over IPO Price Manipulation

In 2025, the primary market for stocks in India was very busy, with 103 new companies raising a lot of money.

However, there were concerns that some people might be manipulating the prices of these new stocks before they start trading.

The market regulator is now looking into this issue.

They want to make sure that the price of a new stock is decided fairly, not by a few people trying to trick the system.

One way they are doing this is by requiring that at least five different investors must be involved in setting the price.

They are also thinking about setting price limits for these new stocks and making sure the base price for stocks that are coming back to the market is calculated correctly.

All of these changes are meant to make the stock market fairer and more trustworthy.
