India plans to launch multiple market reforms.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator plans to simplify compliance requirements for market intermediaries, deepen corporate bond trading, introduce artificial intelligence-related safeguard rules, and ease access conditions for foreign investors. Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Pandey said SEBI is working on a market-maker framework to boost secondary-market trading in corporate bonds. The regulator is also reviewing the short-selling and securities lending mechanisms to improve market liquidity and price discovery efficiency.
