What happened
A SEBI proposal could give market infrastructure institutions, including exchanges and depositories, greater flexibility to expand related businesses and deploy subsidiary earnings. The proposal is subject to tighter board oversight and safeguards against conflicts of interest.
Why it matters
The proposal could broaden business options for Indian exchanges and depositories. Its effect on Indian equities overall may remain small unless the proposal advances and changes firms' operations or earnings.
Global impact
The proposal is domestic, with no immediate global-market channel apparent. Similar changes to market-infrastructure rules can shape perceptions of regulatory oversight, but spillovers beyond India may be limited.
