In depth
The LODR is the rulebook that makes a listed company different from an unlisted one: it prescribes quarterly results, shareholding patterns, board composition, committee requirements, related party transaction approvals, and timelines for disclosing material events. Its materiality framework combines deemed material events, which must always be disclosed, with quantitative thresholds based on turnover, net worth and profit. Breaches attract fines from the exchanges that are themselves disclosed, so a pattern of penalties is publicly visible and informative. Almost everything an investor can learn about a listed company exists because this regulation requires it.
Worked example
A company must publish quarterly results within 45 days of the quarter end and its shareholding pattern within 21 days. An unlisted competitor of identical size publishes an annual filing and nothing else.
