With IPOs losing steam, Sebi steps in with 'hard underwriting' move

With IPOs losing steam, Sebi steps in with 'hard underwriting' move

Rediff.com3 Mar 2023

The regulator has proposed that in case an IPO fails to garner full subscription, the investment banker or a third-party can buy the unsubscribed shares. This practice was common during fixed-price issues prior to 1999. However, under the new book building regime, underwriting is allowed only to the extent of shortfall due to technical rejection of bids - this is referred to as "soft underwriting" and is rarely invoked.
