SEBI Reviews ESG Rules 2025

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is set to revisit its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure regulations for publicly listed companies. This strategic move follows growing concerns from various industry stakeholders, particularly small and mid-sized enterprises, who have found the current ESG norms difficult to implement.
SEBI’s objective is to enhance the effectiveness and relevance of ESG reporting by eliminating redundant procedures and ensuring that disclosures reflect genuine sustainability practices. The regulatory body aims to streamline guidelines so that they not only align with global ESG standards but are also practical for Indian businesses of all sizes.
By reforming the existing framework, SEBI seeks to promote transparency, build investor trust, and support companies in adopting responsible business practices without being overwhelmed by compliance challenges.
