Sebi to issue closing auction guidelines within a week
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is likely to issue guidelines on the settlement-price mechanism for derivatives on expiry days within about a week, chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Saturday, 10 October 2026. The regulator is examining feedback on its consultation paper on the Closing Auction Session (CAS), which received over 20,000 comments from traders and industry stakeholders.
Sebi is also working to simplify digital onboarding for Persons Resident Outside India (PROIs) and will issue a circular shortly after receiving more than 400 comments on the proposal. The regulator is targeting the end of November 2026 to bring certain transactions, including tender offers, buybacks and offers for sale, within the interoperability framework. Separately, Sebi will shortly issue guidelines for the responsible use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, following a tiered approach with clear accountability and human oversight.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets offer neutral, wire-style coverage of Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey's announcements at the Capital Market Confluence. The Economic Times frames the CAS guidelines as part of a broader strategy to 'deepen India's cash markets' and positions Pandey's speech as a leadership vision titled 'From Regulation to Global Leadership', while Business Standard sticks to a chronological list of regulatory initiatives. Neither outlet criticises or advocates for any measure, the coverage is uniform straight reporting. The key takeaway across both reports is the same: Sebi will issue CAS guidelines within a week and aims to complete interoperability changes by end of November 2026.
