SEBI sets up panel to examine proposal of direct listing of Indian firms on abroad

13 Jun 2018 Evaluate

In order to examine the possibility of allowing unlisted Indian companies to directly list equity overseas while also allowing foreign companies to list directly on the Indian bourses, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has constituted an expert committee. At present, Indian firms can only use the depository receipts route - American Depository Receipts (ADR) or Global Depository Receipts (GDR) - to list on the overseas exchanges. Similarly, companies incorporated outside India can access the Indian capital markets only through the International Depository Receipt (IDR) route.

However, Indian firms can list their debt securities directly on international exchanges as what is known as 'Masala Bonds'. Considering the evolution and internationalisation of the capital markets, SEBI said that it would be worthwhile to consider facilitating companies incorporated in India to directly list their equity share capital abroad and vice versa.

The committee will examine in detail the economic case for permitting direct listing of Indian companies overseas and vice versa. It would also examine various legal, operational and regulatory constraints in facilitating companies incorporated in India to directly list their equity share capital abroad and vice versa. The committee will also make recommendations for a suitable framework in which to facilitate such direct listing.
