SEBI Proposes Flexibility for Market Infrastructure Institutions
What happened
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) proposed new flexibility rules for Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) as part of a regulatory review. The proposal allows stock exchanges and depositories to expand into businesses such as market data, analytics, and technology services. Subsidiaries could reinvest earnings in related activities without seeking fresh regulatory approval.
Why it matters
The changes aim to allow MIIs to make greater commercial use of their existing infrastructure and capabilities. This reduces the approval burden for activities that directly support market operations, potentially leading to shorter time-to-market for new services.
SEBI is initiating a comprehensive review of the regulatory framework involving market infrastructure institutions.
