Sebi proposes raising annual ISIN limit for private debt securities to 17

In a significant regulatory shift, Sebi is set to increase the cap on the number of annual debt security ISINs maturing. This initiative is designed to alleviate liquidity challenges and refinancing stress faced by Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and major corporations. Furthermore, Sebi recommends exempting ESG debt securities from these limitations and advocates for the removal of mandatory listing on all previous unlisted debt offerings.
