SEBI

SEBI reported to be weighing a review of self-listing rules for exchanges. Following NSE's 24 September listing on BSE, multiple outlets citing sources say SEBI may set up a high-level panel of market experts and senior officials to examine whether exchanges should be allowed to list on their own platform — a framework SEBI rejected on conflict-of-interest grounds in 2015 — with any recommendations expected to feed into a future consultation paper. This is not yet a confirmed SEBI action: no circular, press release or panel notification has been issued, and reports note SEBI's formal response is still awaited. Flagging for visibility given the market-structure stakes; will follow up once SEBI acts. Free Press Journal

No new circulars, consultation papers or board-level press releases this window.

Exchanges (NSE/BSE)

No material NSE or BSE circulars this window beyond routine settlement-calendar, ESM-list and corporate-action notices.
