SME to Mainboard Migration – Benefits, Eligibility Criteria and More

SME to mainboard migration is a key step for most of the small and medium enterprises listed on stock exchanges in India. The migration of SMEs to the mainboard results in the listed securities being transferred from the SME platform to the mainboard exchanges. This migration from SME to mainboard has several benefits for company owners as well as investors. Nevertheless, companies need to fulfill SME migration criteria before shifting to mainboard exchanges of BSE and NSE. In this article, we take a closer look at the benefits and eligibility criteria of Upcoming Migration to Main Board.

Upcoming Migration to Main Board

Benefits of SME to Mainboard Migration

There are several benefits of SME IPO migration from the SME exchange to the mainboard exchanges (BSE and NSE). Some of these advantages of migration are listed below:

  • Removal of Lot Size and Access to More Capital – Stocks listed on SME exchanges in India are available in lot sizes where minimum investment is INR 1,00,000. As intended, it effectively makes the SME stock unavailable to a large section of investors. However, migration from SME to mainboard removes this restriction and stocks can be traded in minimum 1 share or multiples thereafter. Naturally, migration opens access to a bigger set of investors and capital.
  • Better Valuations – As mentioned above, migration to mainboard exchange attracts more investors. The combination of lower ticket size and bigger set of investors aides in better value discovery.
  • Possibility of Dual Listing – SMEs can list on the BSE and NSE mainboards after migration. This expands their investor base.
  • No Market Maker Requirement – Companies listed on SME exchanges are required to appoint a market maker but this requirement goes away when the company shifts to mainboard. This reduces compliance costs.
  • Change in Stock Group and Margin – The SME’s stock group changes to a lower margin group after migration. This makes it more attractive for investors.
  • Enhanced Credibility and Visibility – Listing on the mainboard increases the credibility and reputation of the company and visibility among the investors and other stakeholders. This is a mark of the company’s skill in pushing transparency and governance.

List of SME Companies Migrated to Mainboard

As of 12 June 2025, a total of 1,039 companies are listed together on the BSE SME and NSE SME exchange in India. Out of these, 338 companies have migrated to the main board exchange. The number of companies migrated to the BSE and NSE are as follows:

Recent and Upcoming Migration to Main Board

Migration from SME platforms to the main boards of exchanges like the BSE and NSE is a noteworthy step for growing companies, enhancing their visibility and access to capital. This move can attract more investor interest and increase liquidity, with SME stocks often showing improved performance post-migration. Aryaman Capital Markets, for example, has recently announced plans to migrate, tentatively scheduled for 12 June 2025, reflecting confidence in its growth trajectory.
