Can NSE shares trade on its own platform? Sebi chief says no panel considering self-trading in exchange shares
SEBI is in focus.
30 Sept 2026 · ET Stocks, Economic Times Markets
Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator is not currently considering self-listing or self-trading of exchange shares, days after NSE CEO Ashish Kumar Chauhan suggested exploring the possibility. Pandey said no Sebi panel is discussing the proposal at present, while Chauhan had cited conflict-of-interest concerns but said the idea could be revisited as the market ecosystem matures.
The analysis
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Why it matters
- With SEBI, NSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
