SME to Mainboard Migration in India: Complete Guide, Eligibility & Process (2026)

Description

SME to Mainboard Migration is the process through which a company listed on the SME platform of BSE or NSE shifts its listing to the Mainboard after fulfilling the prescribed eligibility requirements.

Unlike an Initial Public Offering (IPO), migration does not involve issuing shares merely for the purpose of changing exchanges. Instead, it is a regulatory transition that allows an already-listed SME company to trade on the Mainboard, where larger companies are listed.
