SEBI Reports No Manipulation in New Closing Auction Session, Monitors Participation
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has found no evidence of manipulation in the newly introduced Closing Auction Session (CAS), a market reform launched on August 3 to determine stock closing prices more transparently. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey noted that participation, especially by mutual funds, has increased from around 5-7% to about 20-25%, though broader retail adoption is still developing. The regulator is monitoring feedback, addressing initial price discrepancies, and may adjust the system to enhance participation and efficiency.
