RETAIL RESEARCH
What is an SME Exchange and when was the concept introduced in India?
An SME Exchange is a trading platform of a recognized stock exchange, with nationwide trading terminals authorised by SEBI to list securities (shares) of corporates
from the MSME sector. The framework for SME platforms to serve small and medium-sized enterprises on stock exchanges was established by SEBI vide its circular
dated 18-May-2010. In 2011, BSE and NSE received approval for setting up their respective SME platforms, and subsequently BSE SME and NSE Emerge were launched.
As of today, a total of 228 companies have been listed on BSE SME exchange, and 45 of these have already been migrated to the mainboard exchange. Similarly, ~ 121
companies currently trade on NSE Emerge, and only two of these have till date been migrated to mainboard NSE exchange.
What are the criteria for a company to be listed on the SME exchanges?
A private limited company, proprietary firm or a partnership firm firstly needs to be converted into a Public Limited Company to be listed on the BSE SME Exchange or
NSE's Emerge. Both the exchanges have their own eligibility criteria for SME listings, apart from the requirement of compulsory dematerialisation of securities and 100%
underwriting.
I. Parameters for listing on the BSE SME Exchange are:
- Minimum net tangible assets of Rs 3cr
- Minimum net worth of Rs 3cr
- Post-issue paid up capital of at least Rs 3cr and not exceed Rs 25cr;
- The minimum application and trading lot size should be at least Rs 1 lakh
II. Parameters for listing on NSE’s SME platform, namely Emerge:
- The post-issue paid up capital not to exceed Rs 25cr;
- The company should be operational for at least three years
- The company should have positive cash accruals (EBDT) from operations for at least two financial years, with a positive net worth
- There should be no petition for winding up against the applicant company
1. Ease of access to capital and financing opportunities: SMEs, by virtue of the nature and working patterns of their industry were unable to tap markets to raise
equity and debt to fund their projects. Some of these viable greenfield projects are unable to be implemented or executed owing to limited availability of funds. With
the easing of IPO norms for SMEs, they found a solution for the fund-raising problem. SME listing provides an avenue to raise capital through equity infusion for
growth-oriented SMEs
2. Sourcing debt also becomes easier: Listing gives recognition and a sense of safety to lenders owing to corporate governance requirements. This helps listed SMEs
raise debt with ease. Further, listed securities can be collateralised by the promoter to secure loans which can be then be infused in the business.
3. Lesser regulatory controls: As against an IPO on the mainboard exchanges, an SME IPO has many relaxations in norms in terms of regulatory supervision and
controls, both at the time of the launch of the IPO and on routine compliance under the listing agreement and regulations.
4. Enhanced visibility and credibility: Listing provides SMEs with the benefit of greater credibility and enhanced financial status, leading to higher valuation of the
company on one hand, and improved customer-client credibility on the other. Even banks and financial institutions prefer to fund a listed SME as against an unlisted
one.
5. Option for inorganic growth opens up: Equity financing provides growth opportunities like expansion, mergers and acquisitions, being cost-effective and tax-
efficient mode.
6. Migration to mainboard helps the SME get rid of the SME tag: One of the major attractions of SME IPOs remains the provision of migration to the mainboard
exchanges. Any company listed at the SME platform, after crossing the threshold of Rs 10cr capital may migrate to the mainboard exchange, and upon crossing the
Rs 25cr threshold has to mandatorily migrate to the main exchange. These companies, however, need to be traded for a minimum period of two years on the SME
platforms before they can migrate to the mainboard
7. Market making requirements: The merchant bankers to the issue will undertake market making through a stock broker who is registered as a market maker with the
SME exchange. The merchant bankers shall be responsible for market making for a minimum period of three years. The market makers are required to provide a
two-way quote for 75% of the time in a day. There will not be more than 5 market-makers for a scrip. The exchange shall prescribe the minimum spread between the
bid and ask price. During the compulsory market-making period, the promoter holding shall not be eligible in the offering to market makers. These regulations give
SMEs an edge, and induce investors to participate in such stock trading and increase the liquidity of the stock. Despite this requirement, there is no trade on some
days in about 20-25% of stocks listed on SME exchange.
What does migration from SME exchange to mainboard exchange mean? What is the eligibility criteria for migration? What are its benefits?
On meeting the requisite criteria and receiving an application, the trading of shares is shifted from the SME exchange (BSE SME / NSE Emerge) to the mainboard
exchange (BSE / NSE). The eligibility criteria for migration of shares is as follows:
1. To move up to the mainboard, the SME exchange companies have to ensure that their paid-up capital exceeds Rs 10cr, but is below Rs 25cr. In this case
however, a special resolution is to be passed, wherein non-promoter shareholders should consent with 2/3rd majority or,
2. In cases where the post-issue paid-up capital is likely to exceed Rs 25cr, the SME exchange companies shall migrate to the mainboard.
The major benefit of this migration is to come into the limelight and get a recognition of being listed on the mainboard exchange. Upon migration, we have observed
that trading volumes fall, but the risk of a drastic fall in share price owing to continuous selling pressure recedes. Further, retail investors can now participate in
investment of such shares as the lot size requirement (of >Rs.1 lakh) is no longer applicable, and the per-transaction value comes down.
The table below provides us with a view on the stocks that have migrated to the mainboard till date, and how they have performed post migration. The returns here
are CAGR and absolute, and portray that 27 of the 45 stocks migrated have given compounded positive returns post migration, and ~30 of the 45 stocks have given
an overall compounded positive return since being listed on the SME exchange.

How do investors benefit from SME exchanges? Where do they need to be careful?
SME exchanges not only enable small businesses to raise funds with ease, but also allow the risk-seeking investors to take calculated calls on businesses they feel can
grow enough to satiate their return requirements. Key attractions for the investors would include the following:
1. Easier liquidity and exit: Through SME exchanges, PE investors can easily enter and exit their investments. Seed stage is when funds are most required for any
business, and that is when the PE investors step in. However, one of the concerns regarding such an investment is the absence of the possibility to liquidate
investments whenever desired. Such investments generate superior returns, but include additional risks of liquidity and volatility (due to circuit limits, large lot
size and limited depth on certain days). Listing would provide liquidity to shareholders, and at the same time, would offer exit options to venture capital and
private equity investors.
2. Tax benefits: It is known to all investors that the tax benefit entailed in a transaction involving exchange-traded securities is higher than the unlisted securities.
Although the benefit of 0% taxation on long-term capital gains has been withdrawn as per the proposal made in Budget 2018, the benefit for STT paid exchange-
traded securities prevails. The long-term capital gains are taxed at 10%, whereas the short-term capital gains are taxed at 15% for STT-paid securities, as against
the normal 20% for long-term and 30% for short-term gains.
3. Well managed companies can deliver superior returns: A good corporate governance-bearing company can reward investors in this segment for the risks taken.
Small capex can yield high growth organically for such companies. Also, at times, a small but strongly positioned player may fetch premium valuations for
buyouts and may deliver good returns to patient investors.
4. Tax benefits to flow in for smaller players: SME business with revenues <Rs 250cr would benefit from the concessional tax rate announced in the current year’s
budget. This can draw higher investment in such small businesses from various groups of investors looking to benefit from this concessional tax rate.
5. Average number of shareholders in all SME companies is ~265, while the median number is ~185. This low number has its own implication on liquidity, volatility,
and depth, which in turn affect the impact costs on entry/exit of a large number of shares.
6. Regulatory requirements: As compared to the listing/compliance norms for a mainboard listed company, a SME company has to face lower levels of regulations.
Key differences include the minimum number of subscribers (50 in SME vs 1000 in mainboard), IPO underwriting (Mandatory with minimum 15% subscription by
merchant banker in SME vs non-mandatory in mainboard), offer document vetting (by exchange in SME vs SEBI in mainboard), result declaration (bi-annually in
SME vs quarterly in mainboard). However absence of regular disclosures could result in a lopsided awareness of the company’s current businesses and prospects
impacting minority shareholders’ interest at times.
Which are the companies to track from the currently listed SMEs?
It would be unfair to make a list based on a single criteria. In view of the same, we have formulated and presented the following tables:
1. Qualified Institutional Buyers’ interest w.r.t. any initial offering instills confidence in such company and the industry to which it belongs. The following table
enlists the companies whose IPOs attracted QIBs and also lists down the current QIP holdings in such companies. The list further contains companies which
initially missed QIB’s radar but later the QIB’s bought/upped their stake in said companies.
