Proposed Securities Markets Code, 2025 Seeks Regulatory Streamlining with Calls for Innovation

The proposed Securities Markets Code, 2025 aims to streamline India's securities market regulation to support its growth into a top global market. While it seeks to simplify transactions and governance, experts suggest it lacks sufficient innovation, such as enabling listing without share offerings and creating trading platforms for unlisted companies. Additional recommendations include refining e-voting, reducing regulatory overlaps, and establishing a single authority to enhance efficiency, transparency, and market expansion. The Code is under parliamentary review for further input.
