India's Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is urging banks and other regulators to tighten enforcement of insider-trading rules, in particular safeguarding price sensitive information. The regulator's chief, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, stated that insider trading may lie in individuals involved in the company or the government. The data shows that SEBI investigated 287 cases of alleged insider trading in the financial year 2024-25, compared to 175 cases in the previous year. Additionally, the regulator has reduced documentation needed for entry of foreign investors and aims to reduce the time it takes to five days.
