A Public Limited Company is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 that can offer its shares to the general public and, if it chooses, list on a recognised stock exchange. It is a separate legal entity with limited liability for its shareholders.
It requires a minimum of 3 directors and 7 shareholders, with no upper limit on the number of members. Because it can raise capital from the public, it is subject to stricter regulatory and disclosure requirements than a private limited company.
This structure suits established businesses with significant capital needs and ambitions to scale, attract institutional investment, or eventually go public through an IPO.
