Sebi proposes to cut down IPO listing timeline to 3 days from 6 days

New Delhi, May 20 (PTI) Capital markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday proposed to reduce the time taken for the listing of shares on stock exchanges after the closure of initial public offerings (IPOs) to three days from six days at present.

The proposed reduction in timelines for listing and trading of shares will benefit both issuers as well as investors.
