Sebi expands bullion vaulting framework to ETFs, derivatives; vault manager net worth raised

SEBI is in focus.

24 Sept 2026 · ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets

Sebi expanded its vault managers framework beyond Electronic Gold Receipts to cover bullion underlying specified ETFs and derivatives, while raising vault managers’ net-worth requirement to Rs 75 crore and strengthening security, segregation, compliance and governance requirements.

SEBI reported Rs 75 crore. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

  • With SEBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
