SEBI Proposes Allowing FPIs in Physically Settled Non-Agricultural Commodity Derivatives
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is considering allowing foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to trade in physically settled non-agricultural commodity derivatives, including contracts linked to crude oil, natural gas, gold, and silver. Under the proposed framework, FPIs must exit or roll over positions three days before contract expiry, with brokers absorbing any open positions if FPIs fail to do so. SEBI expects this move to enhance market liquidity, improve price discovery, and align India's commodity derivatives market with global standards.
