Government Eases Overseas Listing Norms for Indian Companies Including GIFT City Firms
The Indian government has eased overseas listing norms to help companies raise foreign capital more flexibly. Amendments allow unlisted firms in International Financial Services Centres like GIFT City and companies with negative net worth to list securities abroad, including convertible debentures and preference shares. Companies with negative net worth must allot at least 75% of shares to qualified institutional buyers. The waiting period for companies repaying overdue loans to list overseas has been reduced, while pending filings must be cleared to avoid disqualification.
