The market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has constituted an expert committee to make listings of startups attractive.
It will recommend a suitable framework to allow direct listing of Indian companies’ overseas bourses while also allowing overseas companies to list directly on Indian bourses.
Currently, Indian companies can only use the depository receipts route – Global Depository Receipts (GDR) or American Depository Receipts (ADR) – to list on the overseas exchanges.
Similarly, foreign companies can access Indian capital markets only through Indian Depository Receipts (IDRP) for a listing of equities.
