The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will organise its board meeting on 12th September, with several significant proposals expected to be taken up. The discussions are set to focus on easing compliance for businesses and encouraging greater institutional participation in the market.
Investment Trusts to Come Under Spotlight
The board is likely to consider granting equity like status to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs). Rules for strategic investments in these trusts may also be finalised, a move aimed at widening their scope. The regulator could also introduce a turnover based model for related-party transaction disclosures, tightening transparency in corporate Governance.

IPO Norms to be Revised
Reforms in the initial public offering (IPO) framework are expected to be part of the agenda. The proposals include allowing companies to sell a smaller portion of shares in large IPOs and raising the anchor investor quota from the present 33 per cent to 40 per cent. For issues between Rs. 250 crore and Rs. 500 crore, the number of anchor investors may be increased, with a special 7 per cent allocation proposed for insurance and pension funds.

Broader Regulatory Changes Expected
The meeting is also expected to deliberate on expanding the role of credit rating agencies and updating rules governing stock brokers as well as registrar and share transfer agents. Market watchers believe the decisions, if cleared, will align India’s regulatory framework with global standards, simplify fundraising for companies and attract more long-term institutional capital.
