SEBI board OKs changes to IPOs, preferential issues

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved crucial changes to IPO’s in India. These include restricting the amount that a company can use for unidentified acquisitions, increasing the lock-in period for anchor investors and approving credit rating agencies (CRAs) for monitoring issue proceeds. The SEBI board also approved a special category of venture capital funds to buy stressed loans from banks and financial institutions.
