The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has reinstated the open-market buyback mechanism, effective from 1 August 2026. This decision allows listed companies greater flexibility in capital allocation and managing their balance sheets by repurchasing shares directly from the market.
This shift marks a significant change in Sebi's buyback regulations, previously limited to tender offers. The move is expected to enhance shareholder returns and improve market dynamics.
