India’s regulator proposes easing pre-IPO lock-in rules amid listing rush
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed relaxing the pre-IPO lock-in requirement for existing shareholders, excluding those with promoter or controlling status, in its draft paper issued in mid-November 2025. The reform seeks to automate enforcement of lock ins even when share pledges are released, aiming to speed up the public-listing process.
The move comes as over 300 firms in India have already raised more than $16.55 billion this year in IPOs.
