SK Finance, a non-banking lender specialising in vehicle finance and commercial loans, Belstar Microfinance, the microfinance arm of Muthoot Finance, and Transrail Lighting have received Sebi’s nod to conduct initial public offerings (IPOs), an update with the markets regulator showed on Monday.

The three companies, which filed their preliminary IPO documents with SEBI between March and May, obtained their observation letters on August 30.
