India market regulator's instant settlement plan faces foreign investor pushback
Reuters
·
1y ago
Medial
India's plan to introduce same-day settlement for equity market trades is being met with resistance from offshore investors who fear increased fragmentation and trading costs. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed instant settlement as an option alongside the current T+1 settlement, which already began in January. Offshore investors are concerned about the impact of having two different settlement cycles and the potential for a higher risk of failed trades. SEBI, however, believes that instant settlement would benefit Indian retail investors and is working to address these concerns.

Explainer: What next for Adani-linked FPIs post settlement plea?
Money Control

Medial
Eight foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) with past exposure to Adani Group companies have filed settlement applications with the Securities Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to close pending investigations. Sebi has been looking into whether the FPIs breached any market rules. If the settlement applications are approved, the FPIs will pay a fine to settle the cases. However, Sebi has the power to reject the applications and conclude the investigation with final quasi-judicial orders. The FPIs would then have the opportunity to appeal these orders in higher judicial forums. The cases are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Indian markets or retail investors, as the FPIs have already reduced their exposure to the Adani Group.
