Summary
Sebi plans to permit Foreign Portfolio Investors in physically settled commodity derivatives. This move aims to boost institutional participation and market liquidity. Safeguards ensure FPIs avoid delivery obligations through a two-tier mechanism. Positions are automatically transferred if not voluntarily squared off before delivery. This framework seeks to deepen India's commodity derivatives market.
