The National Stock Exchange of India has offered to pay the country's markets regulator Rs 13.88 billion ($160 million) to settle a legal dispute so it can proceed with a long-delayed initial public offering, three sources said.

The sum is set to be largest settlement made with the markets regulator in India's history.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Wednesday barred former IndusInd Bank chief executive officer (CEO) Sumant Kathpalia and four other senior officials from trading in the securities market, following allegations of insider trading linked to an accounting discrepancy worth over ₹3,000 crore.

In an interim order issued on May 28, Sebi said that these individuals had traded in IndusInd Bank shares while being in possession of unpublished price sensitive information (UPSI), violating insider trading rules.

Markets regulator Sebi has mandated a minimum ticket size or investment threshold of Rs 1 crore for the RBI-regulated originators and unregulated entities engaged in securitisation activities.

IIFL Capital has received a regulatory warning from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) over concerns related to due diligence and disclosure of issue-related expenses and fee timelines in its debt offerings between April 2022 and April 2024.

IIFL Capital disclosed in an exchange filing on Tuesday that Sebi has issued an administrative warning letter dated March 7, 2025.

Markets regulator Sebi has allowed all non-banking financial companies (NBFC), including housing finance companies, to invest in security receipts issued by Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), a move aimed at encouraging investments in the bad loans space.

This has widened the scope of participants who can acquire security receipts from ARCs, thereby boosting liquidity in the distressed asset market.

Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday said it has issued guidelines on the regulatory framework for research analysts and investment advisers to bolster investor protection and ensure transparency.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Thursday announced the interoperability of stock exchanges to ensure business continuity in the face of a technical glitch or an outage.
