Shifting a company from SME platform to the main stock exchange board.
SME IPO migration to the mainboard refers to the process by which a company listed on the SME platform (BSE SME or NSE Emerge) moves to the main stock exchange board. This migration offers higher visibility, improved liquidity, and access to a larger pool of investors.
To be eligible, the company typically must have a minimum paid-up capital of ₹10 crore, a track record of profits for at least three years, and compliance with SEBI and exchange guidelines. Shareholder approval through a special resolution is also required.
Migration helps SMEs enhance credibility and scale their operations by attracting institutional and retail investors through the mainboard’s wider platform.
