Mint Primer: Will new norms calm the rush for SME IPOs?
Live MintMarket regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India has notified new norms for initial public offerings of small and medium enterprises to protect investor interests. A slew of IPOs by firms with questionable financials, coupled with a FOMO-driven buying mania during the recent bull run, made the SME space among the most heated. 2024 was a record year for SME IPOs, with around 240 companies raising over ₹8,700 crore, nearly double the amount raised in 2023. Of the 53 stocks in the BSE SME IPO index, only two have delivered positive returns on a three-month basis, as many counters plunged up to 50%. Sebi has not only increased the minimum application size in SME IPOs to two lots, which is likely to curb the feverish speculation for listing day gains, but has also directed that the firms’ draft red herring prospectus be made available for public comments for 21 days.
