SME stands for small and medium enterprises owned by private organizations. When these companies make a debut on the stock exchange to raise capital from the public then those IPOs are referred to as SME IPOs. In order to classify as SME IPO, its post-issue capital should range between Rs.1 Crore and Rs.25 Crores. BSE SME and NSE Emerge provide a platform for SME companies to raise capital and get listed on the exchange. As a result, it contributes to the socio-economic development of the country.
