SEBI Eases IPO Norms for Large Companies, Extends Public Shareholding Timelines

SEBI revised IPO norms to ease listings for large firms. Companies above ₹5 lakh Cr market cap must now offer a minimum ₹15,000 Cr, while those between ₹1–5 lakh Cr need ₹6,250 Cr, and ₹50,000 Cr–₹1 lakh Cr require ₹1,000 Cr. The move reduces dilution burdens, encouraging more IPOs. SEBI also expanded anchor investor rules to include insurers and pension funds, raising anchor reservation to 40%.
