The regulator confirmed it is at an advanced stage of issuing the NOC, which is the final green light the exchange needs to go public.
SEBI launched two digital tools:
Investors are urged to use SEBICheck before sending money to avoid fraud.
SEBI said it will not change derivatives rules or other market regulations for now. The regulator is reviewing data from steps taken between October 2024 and December 2025 before deciding on any new measures.
A recent survey showed that multilingual, short‑video content works best. SEBI plans future awareness campaigns in many languages and formats to reach younger investors.

Join TelegramThe Indian stock market is gearing up for a busy week with six new IPOs totaling over Rs 2,000 crore. Amagi Media Labs IPO Details Amagi Media Labs, a cloud‑based ad‑tech and media‑technology firm, will open its Rs 1,789 crore IPO on Tuesday, Jan 13, and close on Friday, Jan 16. The price band is set at Rs 343‑361 per share, and the company will list on both the BSE and NSE. Fresh equity raise: Rs 816 crore Offer for sale by existing shareholders: Rs 972.6 crore Grey‑market premium: about Rs 37, roughly a 10% premium over the issue price Founded in 2008 and based in Bengaluru, Amagi serves more than 700 content brands and over 2,000 channel deployments worldwide. Funds from the IPO will mainly support technology upgrades, cloud infrastructure, and acquisitions. Bharat Coking Coal IPO Recap The Bharat Coking Coal IPO, which opened earlier, was subscribed eight times on the first day. Both institutional and retail investors showed strong interest, and the grey‑market premium sits around 39% over the Rs 23 issue price. SME IPO Line‑up Five SME‑segment IPOs will also debut this week: Narmadesh Brass Industries – Fixed price Rs 515 per share, opens Jan 12 on BSE SME. Avana Electrosystems – Price band Rs 56‑59, opens Jan 12 on NSE SME. GRE Renew Enertech – Price band Rs 100‑105, opens Jan 13. Indo SMC – Price band Rs 141‑149, opens Jan 13. Armour Security India – Price band Rs 55‑57, opens Jan 14 and closes Jan 19. What Investors Should Consider While SME IPO activity remains robust, most investors are likely to focus on Amagi Media Labs because of its larger size and global reach. The subscription levels and early trading performance of these offerings will give clues about market risk appetite amid ongoing volatility. Investors should evaluate each company’s business quality, valuation, and long‑term growth prospects before committing funds. Remember, this is perspective, not a prediction.

Retail investors looking for a new SME listing will see Narmadesh Brass Industries' IPO launch on Monday, but the zero grey market premium (GMP) signals modest expectations for an immediate price jump. IPO Overview The Jamnagar‑based brass products maker is raising roughly Rs 45 crore through a fixed‑price issue. The issue opens for subscription on Monday and closes on Thursday, with shares set to debut on 20 January on the BSE SME platform. Pricing and Subscription Details Issue price: Rs 515 per share Total issue size: 8.71 lakh shares (about Rs 45 cr) Break‑up: fresh issue of Rs 36.1 cr and offer‑for‑sale of Rs 8.8 cr Lot size: 240 shares Minimum application for retail: 2 lots (480 shares) – around Rs 2,47,200 Allocation: 47.4% for retail and non‑institutional investors, 5.2% for market‑maker JSK Securities & Services Company Background Narmadesh Brass Industries operates a 6,300 sq m plant in Jamnagar, often called India’s “Brass City.” The firm produces brass billets, rods, valves, plumbing and sanitary fittings, agricultural sprayer parts, and custom‑machined components for both domestic and export markets. Its integrated model covers casting, forging and machining in‑house, helping control quality and delivery times. Financial Snapshot & Use of Proceeds FY ending March 2025: total income Rs 88.05 cr; profit after tax Rs 5.72 cr Six months ended September 2025: revenue Rs 34.21 cr; profit Rs 4.01 cr Planned use of funds: Repay or pre‑pay borrowings (~Rs 14.5 cr) Working capital requirements Purchase of new machinery General corporate expenses What the Zero GMP Means A zero GMP suggests investors expect the listing price to stay close to the issue price of Rs 515. Unlike some recent SME IPOs that saw double‑digit premiums, this offering may see a flat opening, though actual performance will depend on subscription levels and overall market sentiment. Key Takeaways for Retail Investors Entry price is set at Rs 515 per share; no premium is built in. Minimum investment of Rs 2.47 lakh may be suitable for small‑scale investors. Proceeds will largely go toward debt repayment and expanding production capacity. Watch the subscription trend – strong demand could still push the opening price higher.
