Sebi Chair Sees India-US Trade Deal Boosting Investments; No Immediate Derivatives Regulation

Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey stated that the recent India-US trade deal, which reduces tariffs and trade frictions, is expected to remove uncertainties and accelerate capital formation in Indian markets. This development may improve foreign portfolio investor sentiment and bring stability to exchange rates. Meanwhile, Sebi confirmed no immediate regulatory changes are planned for equity derivatives, maintaining the current framework despite recent increases in securities transaction tax on derivatives.
