<h1>Regulator eases IPO rules for very large firms, lowers listing thresholds, extends public-holding timelines, simplifies foreign investor access</h1> The securities regulator approved a package of reforms easing IPO rules for very large companies, including lower minimum listing requirements and extended timelines to attain minimum public shareholding, introduced single-window access to simplify entry and compliance for low-risk foreign investors, and revised the share-allocation framework for anchor investors in initial public offerings to attract global funds. The board also mandated governance changes for market infrastructure institutions, requiring appointment of two executive directors to strengthen operational oversight. These measures aim to boost market access, investor participation and governance.
