SEBI extends IPO issue-size relaxation to March 2027

2026-10-13 · 1 source · BusinessLine Markets

In short

SEBI has extended a rule that lets IPO companies change the fresh issue size by up to 50% without filing new draft papers. The extension runs until March 31, 2027, and the reporting says nearly ₹1 lakh crore was raised in IPOs in the July-September quarter.

This matters for companies and bankers planning new listings. The reporting does not say which IPOs will use the rule or how much extra money may be raised.

What the reporting says

SEBI extended an IPO relaxation until March 31, 2027, allowing companies to revise fresh issue sizes by up to 50% without filing fresh draft papers. The reporting says the move also follows a prior April relaxation and notes nearly ₹1 lakh crore was raised through IPOs in July-September. It is not stated which issuers will use the rule or how many offerings will be affected.

Why it matters

SEBI extended the IPO size-relaxation rule to March 31, 2027, letting companies revise fresh issue sizes by up to 50% without filing fresh draft offer documents, subject to conditions. The move supports issuers and merchant bankers amid active primary markets, but the reporting does not identify specific beneficiaries or quantify the effect beyond the July-September fundraising figure.
