What Is a Public Limited Company?
A Public Limited Company is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 that can have a broad shareholder base and, subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements, may raise capital through securities.
Unlike a private company, a public company is subject to additional governance, disclosure and compliance requirements.
A public company can be listed or unlisted. Being a public company does not by itself mean that its shares are listed on a stock exchange.
