The trading in equity index derivatives is still booming, even with new regulations from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Concerned about increasing individual participation, SEBI is reviewing trading activities. In October 2024, SEBI introduced measures to make this market safer, following a surge in trading volumes and many investors facing losses. Although individual trading is down 12% from last year, it has increased by 77% compared to two years ago. SEBI is committed to monitoring these activities closely and has proposed changes to enhance investor protection and risk management, ensuring smooth operations in the market.
