SEBI is examining position limits for non-agricultural commodity contracts, aiming to improve liquidity in exchange-traded commodity markets. The review focuses on how limits may affect trading activity and market depth, according to reports from multiple outlets.
The regulator also says it is working to reduce structural friction in commodity markets. This includes engaging with stakeholders on tax issues, specifically GST-related concerns that can affect participants who provide or receive commodities through exchange platforms.
While all sources describe the same overall direction—position limits for non-agri contracts and measures to ease operational frictions—outlets primarily differ in emphasis. The Hindu and NDTV highlight both the limits review and the GST engagement, while Business Line briefly notes the broader initiative to address structural friction. None of the reports provide specific details on any proposed numeric limit changes, timelines, or expected outcomes.
