India's securities regulator is considering implementing stricter oversight on micro-cap firms that go public, in response to incidents of fraud in this market segment. Potential measures being discussed include monitoring the use of funds and imposing stricter due diligence guidelines for merchant bankers.

However, the regulator is not currently inclined to take over the listing approval process for small and medium enterprises. The surge in investor interest in micro-listings, driven by the potential for growth in the Indian economy, has raised concerns about the quality of offerings and instances of stock-price manipulation. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has previously asked the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE to halt certain IPOs due to concerns over financial accounts.
