The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a new intraday monitoring framework with the objective of ensuring greater market stability and reducing systemic risks. Under this framework, net intraday positions in equity index derivatives are capped at ₹5,000 crore, replacing the earlier end-of-day cap of ₹1,500 crore. The gross intraday exposure limit of ₹10,000 crore per entity remains unchanged. Exchanges are instructed to take multiple random snapshots during trading hours, including peak sessions, to monitor compliance. This framework officially comes into effect on October 1, 2025, marking a significant regulatory shift in market risk management.
