Listed Company

A listed company refers to a public company whose equity shares are available for trading on an approved stock exchange. This allows investors in the broader market to buy and sell the company’s shares. To maintain this status, the company must comply with the regulatory framework laid down by SEBI as well as the rules of the respective exchanges. These obligations include periodic disclosure of financial results, adherence to governance requirements, and timely reporting of key corporate actions. Such oversight promotes accountability and ensures that investors have access to reliable information and adequate market liquidity.
