In a recent move to regulate and enhance the derivatives market in India, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has implemented several changes. One of the key developments is an increase in the cost of derivatives trading due to revisions made by SEBI.

These revisions, aimed at reducing risks, include adjustments to the number of expiries and lot sizes. The goal is to create a more stable and secure environment for derivatives trading in India.

The expansion of derivatives trading in India, marked by growing participation from retail investors, has not gone unnoticed. In addition to the aforementioned changes, SEBI is also considering extending the maturity period of equity derivative contracts.

In a significant announcement, SEBI, in collaboration with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and stock exchanges, will soon launch a regulated platform for unlisted companies preparing to go public. This move is expected to provide a structured path for such companies to transition into the public market.

However, at the time of writing, there is no information available about the organization that will provide information about unlisted companies ready to go public on this regulated platform, or when the announcement was made.

On a separate note, the shares of BSE closed at Rs 2,174.90 on October 6, 2025, marking a 1.84% decrease compared to the previous day's closing. This decrease suggests that the broader market may have been affected by the recent regulatory changes in the derivatives market.

In conclusion, SEBI's efforts to strengthen the derivatives market through regulatory measures are aimed at creating a safer and more stable environment for trading, while also facilitating the transition of unlisted companies into the public market. The impact of these changes on the broader market remains to be seen.
