India's market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), clarified that there is no proposal to curb retail participation in equity derivative markets. However, SEBI is considering a client risk assessment to reduce risks for retail investors. The regulator's focus is on risk management and compliance rather than imposing trading restrictions. Any proposals to change the regulatory framework will undergo a comprehensive consultation process. SEBI's statement comes in response to speculative media reports.
