Sebi, IFSCA look at setup for blank cheque companies in India

MUMBAI: Two government regulators domestic markets watchdog Sebi and its counterpart for Gujarat’s GIFT City, the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) are on track to facilitate launching of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) in India.

SPAC-like structures have been in existence for years now, floated mainly by private equity players. But of late, they have gained popularity in the developed markets. These structures are also called ‘blank cheque companies’ since investors, other than those setting these up, usually do not know for which acquisition target or the assets of a company they are putting in money till those are bid for by the SPAC. This aspect inherently makes these structures a risky proposition for retail investors, market players said.
