New Delhi, Sep 17
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Wednesday said the regulator will consult the government to widen participation in the country’s commodity derivatives market.
He explained that commodity platforms are not only for large corporations, importers and traders, but can also serve institutional investors such as mutual funds and alternative investment funds (AIFs).
SEBI is also working with the government to resolve GST-related challenges faced by investors who want to receive or deliver commodities through exchange platforms.
In addition, the regulator will run targeted awareness and education programmes to make commodity markets more accessible and relevant for a wider group of investors and stakeholders.
