The Securities and Exchange Board of India is reviewing the framework that governs mainboard initial public offerings, according to NDTV Profit. The regulator's chair, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, disclosed the review during NDTV Profit Ignite 2026, an event held in Mumbai on Wednesday, 28 October 2026.
NDTV Profit carried the remarks in live updates from the gathering. The outlet did not, in the material available, specify which parts of the mainboard IPO rules are under examination or when any changes might be proposed.
The event brought the SEBI chief together with market leaders, with organizers framing the Diwali-season programme around decoding wealth creation and the new Samvat, according to NDTV Profit and other outlets that previewed the Mumbai session. Coverage of the event also highlighted the presence of senior market veterans alongside the regulator's leadership.
Any revision to the mainboard IPO framework would be closely watched by companies preparing to list and by investors who take part in public offerings. Pandey's comments, as reported by NDTV Profit, indicate the review is under way but give no indication of its direction or timing.
Watch for further SEBI statements or consultation papers that set out the specific provisions being reconsidered and any proposed timeline for change.
