NEW DELHI – The Securities and Exchange Board of India is "toying" with the idea of initiating a regulated venue, on a pilot basis, where pre-initial public offering companies can choose to trade subject to certain disclosures, Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said Thursday at a capital market conference organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry in Mumbai. Pandey, however, cautioned that unlisted space is a grey area for the market regulator and companies.
Pandey said the pre-listing initiative is "one area where there could be a possibility to open a platform, maybe with some exchange, and we can work out with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in this regard." He said if unlisted companies "are readier for IPOs in that fashion, that gives you that much extra information for everyone." An official from FICCI said the corporate lobby group has already made its representations to SEBI on this matter. End
