The Securities and Exchange Board of India issued the Third Amendment Regulations, 2025, to modify investor allocation limits and anchor investor reservations under the ICDR Regulations, 2018. The amendments permit a minimum of 2 and maximum of 15 investors for allocations up to INR 250 crore, scaling to additional blocks of 15 investors for larger issues, while mandating a minimum allotment of INR 5 crore per investor. Additionally, 40% of the anchor investor portion is now reserved for domestic mutual funds (33.33%) and life insurance companies and pension funds (6.67%), with any under-subscription in these categories reallocated to domestic mutual funds.
