NSE CEO Calls for Standardized Derivatives Volume Counting and Eased FPI Rules

NSE CEO Calls for Standardized Derivatives Volume Counting and Eased FPI Rules

The head of India's stock market, Ashish Chauhan, wants to change how we count the volume of certain financial trades, called derivatives.

He says the way we count them now makes it look like India's market is bigger than it really is when compared to places like the United States.

He also thinks the rules for foreign investors, called FPIs, are too strict and scary.

These rules ask for too much personal information, so many investors are choosing not to invest in India.

Chauhan believes making these rules simpler will encourage more people to invest.

He also briefly mentioned AI, noting that the initial excitement about it taking over jobs has calmed down, leaving more opportunities for Indian IT companies.
