SEBI sets up team to future-proof stock exchange tech
SEBI is putting together a working group to plan how India's stock exchanges can keep up with rapid tech changes over the next 5-10 years.
Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey says the goal is to make sure our markets stay safe, efficient, and ready for tomorrow.
Why does this matter?
With trading volumes and automation on the rise, strong tech matters more than ever.
The group will study global best practices and suggest ways to boost market security, smooth out operations, and protect investors—especially as glitches have led to penalties in the past.
What sparked this move?
Recent tech outages—like the one at MCX—pushed SEBI to dig deeper into what's going wrong behind the scenes.
Pandey admits new tech can bring hiccups but stresses SEBI is serious about fixing issues now so our markets don't get tripped up later.
