India stable destination for long-term capital: Sebi chief Pandey

Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey says India's capital markets are resilient and globally competitive, supported by reforms such as T+1 settlement and improved investor access

India’s capital markets are increasingly being recognised as a stable, resilient, and globally competitive destination for long-term capital, even amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and market volatility, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, chairman, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), said at the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings. 

 

Speaking at an interaction organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the US-India Business Council, Pandey highlighted that India’s markets have become a structural pillar of the financial system, with strong macroeconomic fundamentals and deepening investor participation.

 

He emphasised Sebi’s facilitative and risk-based regulatory approach, citing reforms such as T+1 settlement, faster IPO timelines, and easier access for foreign investors, which have improved transparency and reduced friction.
