Sebi Plans to Heighten Derivatives Surveillance
Live Events The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is planning to enhance its surveillance system to check manipulation in the derivatives market, chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Monday. This follows the regulator barring US-based proprietary trader Jane Street from the securities market for allegedly generating illegal profits by manipulating indices through large derivatives positions.'This (Jane Street case) is essentially a surveillance issue,' Pandey said on the sidelines of an event. 'Surveillance mechanisms will be upgraded further to strengthen oversight.' He added that monitoring will continue at Sebi's as well as stock exchange levels.'Manipulative practices can be worked out by different players in different ways,' Pandey said. 'There is no one particular way in which you have to assess. Our regulations clearly mention that manipulative and fraudulent practices are not allowed in the market, and within the regulations, Sebi has all powers to investigate and act.'The chairman appeared to be of the view that such practices aren't widespread. 'There may not be many more such cases,' he said in response to a question on whether other funds may have manipulated the markets in a similar week, Sebi ordered the seizure of what it said were 'illegal gains' made by Jane Street to the tune of Rs 4,844 crore ($570 million) in one of the toughest punitive actions against an international trader. It's likely the largest amount thus impounded by the entities tied to Jane Street Group — JSI Investments, JSI2 Investments, Jane Street Singapore and Jane Street Asia Trading — have been prohibited from dealing in securities, directly or Street, which started its India operations in 2020, made a profit of about $4.3 billion between January 2023 and March 2025, the period under review, on its India regulator's finding is that the NSE's Bank Nifty Index — comprising stocks of India's top dozen lenders — was manipulated in a complex and illegal manner aided by JS Group's immense trading, financial and algorithmic Street would drive up prices with heavy buying in the morning and send them down through a selling spree later in the day, according to Sebi. It also sought to push index levels down with heavy sell orders close to the option expiry, the regulator found that Bank Nifty options alone contributed Rs 17,319 crore, amounting to 40% of the total index option's profits.

Improved consumption trends bring cheer to FMCG counters
Mumbai: Shares of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms advanced Monday after Godrej Consumer's quarterly business update pointed to improved demand prospects. Godrej is the third company after Dabur and Marico to signal a stronger-than-expected growth outlook, but some analysts warn against painting these performances as an industry-wide trend. "A sequential improvement in volume growth and revenue growth indicated by Godrej Consumer Products , Dabur and Marico led to renewed investor sentiment," said Ajay Thakur, research analyst - FMCG, Anand Rathi Institutional Equities. "A good monsoon is seen propping up rural demand and an uptick in urban demand also supports sentiment." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The Nifty FMCG Index gained 1.7% on Monday, while the benchmark Nifty remained flat. Of the 15 stocks on the FMCG Index, 13 advanced and two declined. Agencies Godrej Consumer jumped 6.4%, leading the gains in FMCG stocks. Dabur gained 3.5%, while HUL and Emami rose over 2.5% each. Britannia Industries climbed 2.1%, and Varun Beverages and Tata Consumer advanced 1.7% and 1.5%, respectively. While the pickup in volumes is expected to stronger in the second half of FY26, gains might be limited to stocks that offer better growth prospects. "The positive guidance was largely for Godrej Consumer and Marico but since the FMCG stocks have been beaten down, the other stocks also rose in hopes of a recovery," said Amit Purohit, VP, Elara Capital. "Although second half is anticipated to be better, Q1 is expected to be muted." Live Events Godrej Consumer Products said in its quarterly update that the volume growth is improving from the previous quarter, and the company expects double-digit rupee revenue growth on the back of high single-digit volume growth. Dabur's growth guidance is softer than that of Godrej, but investors were expecting far worse. "There were expectations of flat to declining growth in Dabur, but the company expects low single-digit growth, which might be perceived optimistically in the otherwise lacklustre quarterly update," said Purohit. So far this year, the Nifty FMCG Index has declined 2%, while the benchmark Nifty has gained 7.7% in the same period. Thakur said he prefers Godrej Consumer among large cap FMCG stocks, while Dabur's valuations are attractive. Purohit said investors should focus on specific stocks in the sector based on their reported growth. "Godrej Consumer Products and Marico are clear standouts and as the market rewards growth, gains are likely in these stocks," said Purohit. "Other stocks may move up as the narrative around the government focus on consumption, good monsoon, and base effect to play out."
