SEBI unveils proposals to curb chaotic pricing of relisted stocks
SEBI just rolled out new proposals to make pricing of relisted stocks less chaotic and more fair.
Announced on May 21, 2026, these proposed changes are meant to stop stocks from opening at unrealistically low prices and prevent wild swings when trading resumes, something that has been a headache thanks to old auction methods.
Last trade or valuations, 5 participants
If a stock comes back within six months of suspension, its base price would be set by its last traded value. If that info isn't around, two independent valuation reports will decide the price.
For stocks suspended over six months, only those valuations count.
SEBI also wants at least five unique buyers and sellers for proper price discovery in preopen auctions and is inviting public feedback on these changes until June 11.
