SME IPO Market Shows Resilience Amid Regulatory Changes
SME companies are using IPOs to raise money by selling shares.
Even with new rules that make it harder to invest, many companies are still doing this.
In September, more SMEs went public compared to larger companies.
Some investors are losing money as many stocks are not performing well.
The government is implementing rules and guidelines to help prevent fraud and risk.
55 companies raised funds via SME IPOs in September, more than the mainboard.
New regulations require a minimum ₹2 lakh investment and bids at a specified price.
Bidding modifications and cancellations are no longer allowed for SME IPOs.
19 of 35 stocks listed in September are trading in the red.
Some companies have delayed or extended their IPO processes.
