The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued these regulations to govern the substantial acquisition of shares and takeovers of target companies. They mandate a public announcement of an open offer when an acquirer, alone or with persons acting in concert, reaches or exceeds 25% of voting rights, or acquires more than 5% additional voting rights in a financial year while already holding 25% or more. The regulations also require an open offer for any direct or indirect acquisition of control over a target company, regardless of the percentage of shares or voting rights held.
