Capital markets emerging as key avenue for household savings: Sebi chief

Capital markets are increasingly emerging as a core avenue for household savings and wealth creation in India, reflecting a structural shift in how Indians are investing and participating in the country's growth story, SEBI Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Monday. "Capital markets are increasingly becoming a core avenue for household savings and wealth creation," Pandey said at the ICICI Securities India Investor Conference 2026. On the Portfolio Management Services (PMS) regulations, the SEBI chief indicated that extensive deliberations are underway and a consultation paper will be released soon. However, he declined to specify a timeline. Pandey said India's economic rise is not only about higher growth numbers but also about the formalisation of the economy, financialisation of savings and growing trust in institutions.

LIC in talks with regulators to expand long-term instruments: CEO

State-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is engaging with key financial regulators, including the Reserve Bank and Sebi, to expand the availability of long-term investment instruments as inflows into its annuity products keep on rising, CEO and MD R Doraiswamy said.

He further said the sector regulator, Insurance Regulatory and Development ..

Rajesh Exports may get dropped from PLI scheme, final decision in days

The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) is set to decide in the coming days on removing Rajesh Exports from the list of beneficiaries under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for advanced chemistry cell (ACC) battery storage, after the SEBI last week passed an interim order alleging massive financial fraud by the Bengaluru-based firm. Sources in the ministry told PTI that there is a "strong view" within the department that the company should be dropped from the scheme. The matter will be placed before Minister of Heavy Industries H D Kumaraswamy, who has returned from an official trip to Kyrgyzstan. "A final call will be taken in the coming days," a source said. In a 109-page ex parte interim order dated June 3, SEBI alleged that Rajesh Exports - primarily a gold jewellery manufacturer and exporter - inflated revenues by Rs 15.15 lakh crore between FY21 and FY25, amounting to approximately 99.8 per cent of the revenues attributed to its subsidiaries over the period being ..
