SEBI Moves to Reform M&A Rules to Protect Investors
India’s markets regulator SEBI has proposed changes to merger & acquisition norms to enhance retail investor protection and speed up deal closures. The draft revisions include cutting open offer timelines from 60 to 30 days, banning preferential pricing to select shareholders, and requiring external valuations for large block deals. Public feedback will be sought before implementation. The overhaul aims to align Indian standards with global best practices amid a growing M&A pipeline.
