SEBI extends IPO deadline due to market weakness

SEBI extends validity of IPO observation letters expiring between Apr 1, 2026, and Sept 30, 2026, till September 30, 2026, allowing companies an extra six months to launch public issues without restarting the approval process. This move is in response to issuers facing challenges in mobilising resources and accessing capital markets amid geopolitical tensions and subdued investor participation.
