SEBI suggests ED appointments for enhanced governance
SEBI is planning to add two top execs—called Executive Directors (EDs)—to the boards of Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) like stock exchanges.
One ED would focus on running core operations like trading and settlements, while the other would handle compliance, risk, and regulatory functions.
It's all about making these institutions more accountable and transparent.
Why these new roles are important
With more people investing and markets getting busier, SEBI wants to make sure things stay fair and secure.
The new roles are meant to prevent conflicts of interest by limiting outside board positions for these execs.
Plus, by clearly defining who does what—including tech and security heads—SEBI hopes to boost trust in how India's markets are run.
