India's market regulations now match global standards with strengthened real-time surveillance. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey emphasized the regulator's disclosure-based regime anchored in trust, transparency, and technology. The disclosure framework is globally competitive, with SEBI defining materiality standards for necessary disclosures. Pandey outlined four core principles: trust, transparency, teamwork, and technology, aiming for optimal regulation that neither over-regulates nor under-regulates markets. He stressed that appropriate regulation fosters investor confidence while cautious against over-regulation that could stifle innovation. SEBI has institutionalized a consultative process in rule-making, with regulations finalized only after committee review and public comment examination.
