MUMBAI – The market regulator is planning to float a consultation paper discussing rationalisation of documents related to initial public offering, said the Securities and Exchange Board of India Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey.
"For IPO-bound companies, the existing contents of the offer documents will be further rationalised," Pandey said. The regulator is working to give an additional document to investors which will have the highlights of the IPO mentioned in around 30-40 pages.
The regulator is working to "streamline" the process of listing for companies with their pre-IPO shares pledged. "The proposed framework will ensure that lock-in requirements are automatically enforced even if pledge is enforced or released." SEBI is looking to deepen the commodity derivative market as well and it is considering to allow foreign portfolio investors to trade in "non-cash settled non-agricultural derivative contracts". Pandey assured that he will ask the Reserve Bank of India to allow banks to do commodity derivative business.
Pandey said there were several opportunities in the commodity market and India doesn't have products in every base metals yet. To deepen the commodity market, the regulator has set up a working group for agriculture commodity derivatives. He also urged industry and exchanges to develop more products in the commodity derivative segment. End
