SEBI Chief Calls for Optimum Regulation to Protect Indian Markets
Tuhin Kanta Pandey advocates for risk-based regulation and new governance initiatives to shield India's financial markets from global geopolitical disruptions.
Securities and Exchange Board of India Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey called for the creation of deeper, more efficient, and resilient financial markets to protect India from global disruptions during the Capital Market Conference 2026 in Mumbai. He advocated for optimum, risk-based regulation that balances economic growth with investor protection, citing how geopolitical tensions in West Asia cause regional shocks that impact global energy prices and capital flows.
Pandey emphasized that market integrity depends on accountable intermediaries and reliable disclosures. To strengthen governance, the Securities and Exchange Board of India will launch a multi-year capacity-building initiative specifically for independent directors.
To support capital formation and reduce costs, Pandey highlighted the necessity of innovation in digital onboarding and the development of online bond platforms, including green bonds. He also noted the importance of faster settlements to reduce friction within the financial system.
