No immediate steps planned to regulate equity derivatives: Tuhin Kanta Pandey

Sebi chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey stated no immediate regulations are planned for equity derivatives, with the current framework to continue. He also indicated that a US-India trade deal would boost investments by removing regulatory overhang and trade frictions. Separately, Sebi proposed exempting market makers’ algorithmic orders from penalties under the order-to-trade ratio framework.
