SEBI Reviews Closing Auction Session Framework Amid Market Feedback
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) convened a Secondary Market Advisory Committee meeting to review feedback on the closing auction session (CAS) framework introduced in August 2026 for futures and options stocks. SEBI is considering two options for calculating settlement prices on expiry days: retaining the existing volume-weighted average price (VWAP) method or adopting a blended approach combining VWAP and CAS prices. Market participants and mutual fund representatives provided input amid concerns over price volatility during the auction period. SEBI's final decision is pending.
