Sebi to release fresh study on retail derivatives losses in July

SEBI chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey announced that the regulator is preparing a fresh study on retail derivatives losses, expected for release in July. This follows earlier findings that 91% of individual derivatives traders incurred losses, with retail traders collectively losing about Rs 1.05 trillion in FY25, a 41% jump from the previous year. Since November 2024, SEBI has introduced measures such as tripling minimum contract sizes, restricting weekly expiries, and capping gross daily exposure at Rs 10,000 crore for equity derivatives participants.
