To introduce more transparency and public participation in the stock market, the finance ministry has proposed raising the public shareholding limit for listed companies to at least 25% from the existing 10%.
The ministry has invited public responses to its discussion paper on this subject by February 28.
A finance ministry official said the proposed amendments to the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, are likely to come into effect sometime early next financial year.
