India's leading commodity bourse Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) said on Monday it has received approval from markets regulator SEBI to invest in a proposed coal exchange company.

The new entity will provide a transparent, standardised digital platform for the physical delivery of coal at market-driven prices, and will submit an application to the Coal Controller Organisation of India once prescribed timelines are in place. The move builds on MCX's existing energy derivative

Sebi extends NPO registration validity to 3 years on Social Stock Exchange

Markets regulator Sebi has extended the registration validity for not-for-profit organisations on the Social Stock Exchange, allowing their enrolment as NPOs for three years without raising funds, and lowered the minimum subscription requirement for issuing Zero Coupon Zero Principal Instruments (ZCZP). The moves are aimed at promoting the SSE (Social Stock Exchange) and facilitating ease of fundraising and encouraging greater participation by NPOs, Sebi said in its circular on Wednesday.

"It is being specified that a NPO may register on a SSE and not raise funds through it for a period of two years from the date of registration. Such period of two years may be further extended by one additional years subject t

Sebi boosts tech-driven measures to curb scams, safeguard retail investors

As the number of retail investors surges, Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator is intensifying surveillance and technology-driven enforcement to curb rising pre-investment scams that divert funds before investors even interact with registered intermediaries. Pandey, whocompleted one year at the helm of the regulator on March 1, noted that many new and intending investors are being misled by fake trading apps, WhatsApp groups and promises of high returns, often diverting funds to personal accounts of fraudsters long before any engagement with Sebi-regulated intermediaries. He stressed that investor caution must evolve beyond mere awareness to informed action, especially given the country's expanding retail base. Responding to a query on pre-investment frauds, Pandey said many individuals intending to enter the markets are being "hijacked by scamsters" even before they reach a Sebi-registered intermediary. "Someone who is intending to come is actually being trapped by
