SEBI plans tighter rules for listing of small businesses

India's securities regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), plans to tighten rules for the listing of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) on public exchanges. The proposed changes include raising the minimum size of public offers to INR 300 million-500 million ($3.59 million-$5.99 million) and introducing more disclosure requirements. The move comes after complaints of misuse of the separate listing platform for SMEs, as some companies allegedly used funds for purposes other than specified and manipulated financial statements. The new rules are expected to be issued later this year after consultations with stakeholders.
