Sebi Board Meeting December 2025: The Board of Directors of market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will consider the report of the high-level committee constituted on issues related to conflict of interest of senior officials in an important meeting on Wednesday. This will be its fourth board meeting to be chaired by SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kant Pandey, in which the comprehensive reforms suggested to increase transparency and accountability will be discussed.

Important meeting of SEBI

The committee has made recommendations such as public disclosure of assets for top SEBI officials, establishment of a secure and anonymous whistleblower system, ban on expensive gifts, ban on appointment to any post for two years after retirement and creation of a new post of ‘Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer’ (CECO).

Apart from this, relaxation in KYC standards for NRIs, introduction of ‘closing auction session’ in the stock market and proposed changes in mutual fund and stock broker rules will also be considered in the meeting. SEBI has already issued a consultation paper on suggestions like clear definition of TER (Total Expense Ratio) in mutual fund rules, setting new limits on brokerage charges and keeping statutory taxes out of TER.

Along with this, the Board can also take a decision on the proposal to review the Stock Broker Regulations of 1992 and add a clear definition of algorithmic trading, which will further strengthen transparency and regulatory clarity in the market.

SEBI’s approval to NCDEX

National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) getting in-principle approval from market regulator SEBI to launch a mutual fund trading platform is considered an important strategic step for the exchange. NCDEX said on Monday that through this new facility, investors will be able to buy and sell units of mutual funds, due to which this exchange, which was limited to commodity based trading, will expand its scope.

According to the company, this platform will lay an initial and strong foundation towards the proposed equity trading segment in future, allowing NCDEX to emerge as a multi-asset exchange. The clearing and settlement responsibilities on this proposed mutual fund platform will be handled by National Commodity Clearing Limited (NCCL), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of NCDEX.

This is expected to ensure transparency, security and timely settlement in the transaction process. Market experts believe that this step of NCDEX will give an additional option to investors and with increased competition, mutual fund investment will be made more easy and accessible. Besides, this initiative is also being considered an important sign towards further broadening the role of exchanges in the Indian capital market.

Indian Stock Market: An interesting and important change has been seen in the Indian stock market in recent months, where on one hand foreign institutional investors (FIIs) are continuously selling Indian shares, while on the other hand domestic investors are investing heavily in the market, especially through mutual funds and SIP. Kotak Mahindra Bank founder Uday Kotak has also drawn attention to this trend.

While posting on social media, he wrote that foreign investors are exiting by selling Indian shares and Indian investors are buying the same shares. According to Uday Kotak, foreign investors seem to be ‘smart’ in the short term, because in dollar terms, the returns of the Indian stock market in the last one year have been almost zero. That is, even though the market has given some returns in rupees, foreign investors have not got any special benefit in dollars.

Why are foreign investors running away?

If we look at the figures, the picture becomes clearer. So far in the year 2025, foreign investors have sold shares worth about Rs 2 lakh crore, while in the same period, domestic investors have invested about Rs 3 lakh crore through SIP and equity mutual funds. Every month an average amount of more than Rs 30 thousand crore is coming into the market through SIP, which shows the strong confidence of domestic investors.

However, the problem from the point of view of foreign investors is that the Indian rupee is continuously weakening. When foreign investors invest in the Indian market, they convert dollars into rupees and when they exit they have to convert rupees back into dollars. Due to the weakening of the rupee, they have to suffer losses against the dollar, due to which their total return becomes zero or negative in dollar terms.

Why are foreign investors not getting returns?

On the other hand, the picture for Indian investors is also not entirely rosy. Investors who started SIP at this time last year have got an average return of only about 5 percent in large cap funds, whereas returns in midcap funds have been negative in many cases and the small cap segment has seen even more pressure.

In such a situation, the question is who will prove to be more correct in the long term – foreign investors, who are currently adopting a cautious approach in view of the weakness of the rupee and global uncertainties, or domestic investors, who are continuing regular investments considering the market decline as an opportunity. According to Uday Kotak, the correct answer to this question will emerge only with time, because real understanding and patience in the stock market is always tested in the long run.

Stock Market News: The cut in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve has had a clear impact on global markets. After a long period of weak sentiment and three consecutive days of decline, the Indian stock market made a strong comeback on Thursday. The balanced policy of the US Fed and the rate cut of 0.25 percent filled new energy among the investors, due to which both Sensex and Nifty ended the trading with gains. The rise in vehicle and metal sectors was the most effective in the market, which strengthened the indices despite fluctuations throughout the day.

BSE’s 30-share Sensex recovered from initial weakness and closed at 84,818.13 with a gain of 426.86 points or 0.51 percent. During trading, while on one hand it had slipped to a low of 84,150.19, on the other hand it also reached an upper level of 84,906.93. Similarly, NSE Nifty also showed a strength of 140.55 points or 0.55 percent and closed at 25,898.55. At the highest level of the day, Nifty had reached 25,922.80, which shows the increasing confidence among investors.

Shares of these companies rose

The biggest support for the rise in the market came from those companies whose shares performed strongly. Among the major Sensex companies, Eternal, Tata Steel, Kotak Mahindra Bank, UltraTech Cement, Maruti Suzuki, Sun Pharma, HDFC Bank, Tech Mahindra, Tata Motors, Infosys, Mahindra & Mahindra, Reliance Industries and HCL Tech were among the gainers. Better demand, improvement in results and sectoral strength took these companies to new heights. On the other hand, decline was seen in Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance, PowerGrid, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel and Titan, which made it clear that sector-wise gap still persists in the market.

Analysts believe that Fed’s rate cut has given a new direction not only to the Indian market but also to the global investment sentiment. According to Vinod Nair, Research Head, Geojit Investments Limited, the decline in 10-year bond yield in America means that the possibility of aggressive investment by foreign institutional investors may be less in the near future. However, on a short-term basis, this step has brought relief to emerging markets. Additionally, demand in India’s auto sector is stronger than expected, which supported the overall market performance. The IT sector also gained on expectations of increased spending.

What do experts say?

Talking about global markets, most of the indices in Asia remained in decline. Japan’s Nikkei, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, South Korea’s Kospi and China’s Shanghai Composite all remained under pressure. Overvaluation of AI companies and rising bond yields in Japan negatively impacted sentiment in regional markets. There was a bullish atmosphere in European markets during afternoon trading, while American markets had registered strength on Wednesday.

Foreign institutional investors sold Rs 1,651 crore on Wednesday, due to which there was some pressure on the market. At the same time, domestic institutional investors provided stability to the market by purchasing about Rs 3,752 crore. The price of Brent crude, the international standard of crude oil, fell by 1.22 percent to $ 61.45 per barrel, which is a positive sign for the Indian economy.
