This move aims to simplify the delisting process for government-owned entities, provide regulatory clarity.\u00a0\u00a0It is a crucial procedural reform designed to directly support the Government\u2019s disinvestment\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dipam.gov.in\/disinvestment-policy\">strategy<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0This strategy involves privatising numerous PSUs by selling them to private acquirers. The old RBB process was a major deterrent to these sales, as a potential buyer faced an uncertain, complex, and potentially costly delisting path\u00a0<em>after<\/em>\u00a0acquisition. By creating a predictable, fixed-price mechanism, regulation 38B removes this significant hurdle, making these PSUs a more viable and attractive asset for the government\u2019s strategic disinvestment pipeline<strong>,<\/strong>all while ensuring robust investor safeguards.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/nov-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-regulations-2021-last-amended-on-november-28-2024-_89265.html\">Regulation 2(j) of the 2021 Regulations<\/a>\u00a0defines \u2018Delisting\u2019 as the permanent removal of a company\u2019s equity shares from the trading platform of a recognised stock exchange, which can occur either voluntarily or compulsorily.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/sep-2025\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-amendment-regulations-2025_96441.html\">Regulation 38B<\/a>\u00a0introduces special provisions for PSUs, subject to necessary modifications of the general regulations. Notably, this special framework\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/sep-2025\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-amendment-regulations-2025_96441.html\">excludes<\/a>\u00a0PSUs that fall under the purview of financial sector regulators, namely Banks, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), and Insurance Companies. Regulation 38B\u00a0\u00a0thus replaces a market-based price discovery process with a more predictable, valuation-driven framework for a specific subset of PSUs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Pre-Amendment Position (Before September 2025)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prior to this amendment, the delisting of all listed companies, including PSUs, was governed by the RBB mechanism under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/nov-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-regulations-2021-last-amended-on-november-28-2024-_89265.html\">SEBI (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2021<\/a>. This process required an acquirer to provide an exit opportunity to public shareholders, with the offer being\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/nov-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-regulations-2021-last-amended-on-november-28-2024-_89265.html\">deemed successful<\/a>\u00a0only if the post-offer promoter shareholding crossed the 90% threshold.<\/p>\n<p>The floor price, which is the minimum price the acquirer could offer, was determined according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/nov-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-regulations-2021-last-amended-on-november-28-2024-_89265.html\">regulation 19A of the 2021 Regulations<\/a>. This involved calculating the highest value derived from several parameters, such as the volume-weighted average price of acquisitions over the previous 52 weeks or the highest price paid in the last 26 weeks. For\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/may-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-substantial-acquisition-of-shares-and-takeovers-regulations-2011-last-amended-on-may-17-2024-_69218.html\">frequently traded shares<\/a>, a critical benchmark was the volume-weighted average market price (VWAMP) over the preceding 60 trading days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This created a significant\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legal.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/regulators\/sebi-mulls-carving-out-separate-mechanism-for-voluntary-delisting-of-psus\/120937797\">challenge<\/a>\u00a0for PSUs.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/reports-and-statistics\/reports\/may-2025\/consultation-paper-on-separate-carve-out-for-voluntary-delisting-of-public-sector-undertakings_93820.html\">SEBI itself observed<\/a>\u00a0that many government-owned companies have a relatively small public float and sometimes weaker financials. The market often prices these stocks not just on performance but also on the implicit security that comes with government ownership. This tended to artificially elevate their market price, making it disproportionate to their actual book value or profitability. Consequently, relying on the 60-day VWAMP for these PSUs resulted in an unusually high floor price, which in turn meant a much larger budgetary expense for the Government to complete the delisting, making the entire exercise financially unviable.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the difficulty was the shareholder approval process. The old rules under\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/nov-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-regulations-2021-last-amended-on-november-28-2024-_89265.html\">regulation 11<\/a>\u00a0had a very strict condition where a special resolution for delisting would only pass if the number of votes cast by public shareholders in favour of the proposal was at least twice the number of votes cast against it. This gave a small group of opposing public shareholders a disproportionate power to block a delisting, even in cases where the promoter holding was already very high.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Post-Amendment Position (Regulation 38B)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/sep-2025\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-amendment-regulations-2025_96441.html\">Regulation 38B<\/a>, inserted as Part-F in Chapter VI of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/nov-2024\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-regulations-2021-last-amended-on-november-28-2024-_89265.html\">SEBI (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2021<\/a>, sets out a special, simplified process designed for specific PSUs. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/media-and-notifications\/press-releases\/jun-2025\/sebi-board-meeting_94657.html\">special provisions<\/a>\u00a0are not available to all; they apply only to those PSUs where the combined shareholding of the government is already at 90% or more of the total issued shares. The logic for retaining this 90% threshold is that it aligns with the standard success benchmark for any delisting, justifying an easier mechanism where public float is already minimal.<\/p>\n<p>For these eligible PSUs, the delisting must now be done through a fixed price process, completely doing away with the RRB mechanism. This applies regardless of whether the company\u2019s shares are frequently traded or not, removing the ambiguity and price inflation issues of the past. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/regulations\/sep-2025\/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-delisting-of-equity-shares-amendment-regulations-2025_96441.html\">calculation of the floor price<\/a>\u00a0has also been revised for the PSU\u2019s undertaking delisting through the mechanism laid down in regulation 38B. It cannot be less than the highest of three specific benchmarks: the VWAP of acquisitions in the last 52 weeks, the highest acquisition price in the last 26 weeks, or a price determined by a joint valuation report from two independent registered valuers. This valuation must be comprehensive, considering metrics like book value, discounted cash flow, and other industry-specific parameters.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/media-and-notifications\/press-releases\/jun-2025\/sebi-board-meeting_94657.html\">final delisting price<\/a>\u00a0offered to shareholders must be at least 15% higher than the floor price determined through this new methodology. The stringent shareholder approval rule has also been relaxed. The requirement for public shareholder votes in favour to be at least two times the votes against has been removed for these PSUs. A special resolution passed via postal ballot or e-voting is still required, but the path to approval is now considerably less fraught.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Analysis\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/sebi_data\/meetingfiles\/jun-2025\/1750931970521_1.pdf\">introduction<\/a>\u00a0of regulation 38B into the delisting framework is better seen as a practical, though uncomfortable, compromise. It identifies a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legal.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/regulators\/sebi-to-review-reverse-book-building-process-and-other-alternatives-for-delisting\/112594717\">key problem<\/a>\u00a0about the RBB process, which is not suitable for PSUs with a strong government holding and a low public float. In these cases, a market-driven price discovery process is mostly theoretical. The regulation\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.business-standard.com\/markets\/news\/sebi-amends-rules-introduces-fixed-price-process-for-voluntary-delisting-124092600853_1.html\">move to a fixed-price process<\/a>\u00a0directly addresses the fact that the market price of these PSUs is often overstated. This inflation is driven more by the perceived value of government backing than by actual financial performance. By replacing the 60-day Volume-Weighted Average Market Price (VWAMP) with a price based on a professional valuation, the regulation tries to replace market sentiment with financial reality.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the regulation builds in safeguards to protect minority shareholders who lose the bargaining power of the RBB process. The primary pillar of this protective structure is the mandate for a comprehensive valuation from two independent registered valuers. Furthermore, the compulsory 15% premium over this determined floor price acts as a direct, quantifiable compensation for the exit. The mechanism to protect non-tendering shareholders by transferring their dues to a designated exchange and eventually to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ca2013.com\/investor-education-and-protection-fund\/\">Investor Education and Protection Fund<\/a>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iepf.gov.in\/content\/iepf\/global\/master\/Home\/AboutUS\/about-us\/AboutIEPFA.html\">IEPF<\/a>) also appears robust.<\/p>\n<p>However, by replacing a market-driven mechanism with an administered one, the regulation concentrates the entire burden of minority shareholder protection onto a single, vulnerable point, the independence and rigour of the valuation process. This creates a new and complex set of risks.\u00a0A critical conflict of interest arises from the fact that the PSU itself, as the promoter, appoints and compensates the \u201cindependent\u201d valuers. This arrangement introduces the potential for subtle pressure to arrive at a valuation that aligns with the promoter\u2019s financial objectives.<\/p>\n<p>The subjective nature of valuation itself amplifies this concern.\u00a0Methods like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/economy\/policy\/the-discounted-cash-flow-method-what-it-brings-along\/articleshow\/5970602.cms?from=mdr\">discounted cash flow<\/a>\u00a0(DCF) analysis are very sensitive to assumptions about future growth rates, capital expenditures, and discount rates.\u00a0For instance, consider a PSU in the infrastructure sector. A valuer\u2019s assumption about the renewal of a major government contract five years from now could swing the valuation by hundreds of crores. Under the new rule, this subjective forecast, made by a valuer paid by the PSU, becomes the bedrock of the \u2018fair price\u2019 offered to minority shareholders. A minor adjustment to these variables can\u00a0materially change the final valuation, making it a flexible tool rather than a rigid standard. This places a heavy responsibility on the personal integrity of the valuers and the supervisory capacity of the regulator.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This carve-out marks a major philosophical shift for SEBI. By establishing a\u00a0special, non-market approach for the government as promoter, SEBI implicitly concedes that the market mechanism, which is central to its regulatory role, cannot reliably price these specific assets. This raises concerns about market integrity. If the market is deemed inefficient for pricing a PSU with a 90% government stake, it challenges the very principles that underpin our securities market. Regulation 38B is, therefore, a solution to a specific problem, but it is one that comes at the cost of introducing new risks and chipping away at the market-first principles governing our corporate landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Conclusion and Way Forward<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While regulation 38B appears to be is a pragmatic step in reconciling the struggles of policy efficiency and market integrity, its long-term success are contingent on whether SEBI can ensure independence, transparency, and rigour of the valuation process through its institutional framework, which is the most vulnerable point. To prevent the regulation from becoming a tool that merely rubber-stamps the promoter\u2019s objectives, SEBI must decisively address the inherent conflict of interest that arises when the PSU itself appoints and pays its \u201cindependent\u201d valuers. This can only be mitigated by mandating appointments from a pre-approved, neutral panel overseen by the regulator. Furthermore, the subjective nature of valuation methods must be countered with compulsory and granular transparency; the detailed valuation reports, including all critical financial assumptions, must be made public. Without these essential reinforcements, the regulation\u2019s safeguards, including the 15% premium, risk becoming superficial. Therefore, while its intent is sound, the framework must be fortified to ensure that, in prioritising the government\u2019s strategic disinvestment objectives, it does not unduly sacrifice market integrity and the foundational right of minority shareholders to a fair and transparent exit, which are the cornerstones of India\u2019s securities regime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u2013\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em>Ayush Agrawal<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Ayush Agrawal\u00a0is a 4th\u00a0year B.A.LL.B.
