SEBI is thinking about making some important changes to India’s money markets. They want to check and improve how people sell things they don’t own right now (called short-selling) and how they borrow and lend securities (called securities lending and borrowing).
They hope these changes will make it easier for people to buy and sell, and to find fair prices. SEBI is also looking at new ways to help new technology grow safely. They plan to create a special area called an AI sandbox, where developers can test new computer tools without risking the whole market.
They also want to make rules to use artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly, making sure it’s safe and fair, with clear rules and human oversight. To make trading in corporate bonds (which are a way companies borrow money) better, SEBI is working on a plan to make it easier for people to buy and sell these bonds.
They are also thinking about using digital versions of bonds to make trading even easier and more modern. For stockbrokers (people who help others buy and sell stocks), SEBI wants to make rules simpler. The rules might change depending on how big the broker’s business is and how much they depend on technology.
SEBI is making new plans to make India’s money markets better. They want to change rules about selling stocks they don’t own yet, help people trade more bonds, try out new computer programs called AI, and keep online safety strong. The boss of SEBI, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, shared these ideas at a big meeting in Mumbai on October 24, 2026.
He said they want to help the market work smoother and be fairer. SEBI is also thinking about new ways to help new ideas grow, make rules simpler for people trading in the market, and protect investors.
They’re planning a special testing area for new AI tools, called an AI sandbox, so developers can try out their ideas safely. They also want clear rules for using AI responsibly, like making sure data is safe, having emergency stops, and keeping humans in charge. They are working on ways to make trading in bonds easier and more active. T
his could help more people buy and sell bonds, making the market busier and more efficient. They are even thinking about digital bonds called tokenised bonds. Finally, SEBI wants to make rules for stockbrokers simpler, especially depending on how big their business is and how much they rely on technology.
