SEBI is proposing to consolidate technology, IT, and cybersecurity norms across key market infrastructure institutions, including stock exchanges, clearing corporations, and depositories. The move aims to create a single, harmonised framework rather than separate requirements for different entities. Business Line reports that SEBI plans a unified IT framework covering these institutions, while NDTV adds that the regulator also wants to align cyber security-related expectations under the same regulatory umbrella.
In addition to technology and cybersecurity, NDTV says SEBI is considering harmonising capacity planning requirements across exchanges, clearing corporations, and depositories. The proposal is intended to standardise operational and preparedness approaches, including how these institutions plan for technology and system capacity.
Both reports describe SEBI’s effort to streamline compliance expectations for market infrastructure, covering the major entities that support trading, clearing, and settlement. The proposal details the regulator’s direction to reduce variation across institutions and to apply consistent technology-focused and resilience-related requirements.
