The Securities and Exchange Board of India has given approval to three new initial public offerings or IPOs, including Vishal Nirmiti Ltd. Sonaselection India Ltd., and Grand Housing Ltd. Along with this the markets regulator has also approved pre-filing of Avaada Electro Ltd.
SEBI has issued observations on the draft document of Avaada Electro which filed via confidential route, on April 15, while the observations on the preliminary papers of Sonaselection India and Grand Housing were issued by the regulator on April 16 and 17, respectively. Moreover, those of Vishal Nirmiti were approved earlier on April 9, 2026, as per the processing status of draft offer documents published on April 17.
Once the SEBI issues observations on a company's draft papers, the firm is granted a one-year window to launch its Initial Public Offering (IPO) and raise capital.
In contrast, companies utilizing the confidential filing route are afforded a longer timeline of 18 months to go public. This extended period accounts for the additional regulatory steps required: these entities must first submit an Updated Draft Red Herring Prospectus (UDRHP) to SEBI before ultimately filing the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) with the Registrar of Companies to formalize their IPO launch dates.
