Regulators in India propose tighter rules for derivatives and mutual funds.

India's market regulator, SEBI, has proposed measures to contain extreme price movements in shares on which futures and options trade, including longer trading suspensions and restricting price movements. The proposed restrictions follow a free fall this year in shares of billionaire Gautam Adani's group companies after U.S.-based short seller Hindenburg Research raised governance concerns in January. SEBI said it is desirable to have safeguards against such extreme price movements from the perspective of market stability, risk management, and protecting the interest of investors.
