Companies can now directly list on foreign stock exchanges

Indian companies can now bypass the traditional route of using Depository Receipts (DRs) and list directly on foreign stock exchanges. Previously, Indian companies had to incorporate through DRs, which involved selling shares to local banks and creating DRs based on a ratio of shares held. However, this process was time-consuming and costly for companies. Now, thanks to an amendment to the Companies Act in 2020, select Indian companies can directly list their shares on foreign stock exchanges, eliminating the need for intermediaries. This move aims to provide easier access to capital and enable companies to raise more funds for expansion, product launches, and debt reduction.
