SEBI Unveils IPO Reforms for Large Market Floats
SEBI is making changes to how big companies can offer stocks to the public.
They might lower the amount of shares individual investors can buy, while giving more to big institutional investors.
They're also considering reducing the amount of shares companies must sell initially, which would give them more flexibility.
These changes aim to make it easier for large companies to list their shares and encourage more investment from big players like insurance companies.
SEBI proposes changes to ease mega IPO processes.
Individual investor quota in large IPOs may decrease from 35% to 25%.
Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) allocation could rise from 50% to 60%.
Mandatory dilution for companies valued over ₹1 trillion may reduce from 5% to 2.5%.
SEBI plans to increase the anchor investor allotment limit for allocations above ₹250 crore.
