• Transactions under Rs 150 crore may no longer need disclosure, easing compliance for companies and speeding up approvals.
• High-value deal threshold for shareholder nod raised to Rs 5,000 crore, from the earlier Rs 1,000 crore.
• New graded approach based on revenue aims for balanced regulation under SEBI chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey’s reform strategy.
