SEBI Expands Foreign Investor Access to Commodity Derivatives with T-3 Exit Rule
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has allowed Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to trade in a broader range of exchange-traded commodity derivatives, including non-agricultural index and non-cash-settled contracts. To prevent FPIs from participating in physical delivery, they must exit positions at least three days before contract expiry (T-3) and cannot increase positions after this date. FPIs must also enter agreements with trading members to manage open positions, aiming to deepen market liquidity while safeguarding delivery processes.
