SEBI Affirms Closing Auction Session's Role, Warns Against Manipulation
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced the Closing Auction Session (CAS) to improve transparency and price discovery in stock markets. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey emphasized that CAS is here to stay and warned of strict action against any manipulation attempts, noting the regulator's enhanced ability to detect irregularities compared to the previous system. Market participants are adapting to the new mechanism, with increasing participation from mutual funds and proprietary traders. SEBI is open to feedback and plans to refine CAS, including accepting orders in the initial minutes to boost liquidity and reduce volatility.
