Jane Street case: Shankar Sharma raises concerns over exchanges' oversight
Veteran investor Shankar Sharma has raised sharp questions about the role of Indian stock exchanges in the recent Jane Street controversy, suggesting that profit motives may have prevented timely action against the global trading firm. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Sharma questioned why the exchanges did not act sooner against Jane Street, even though they are among the first to receive trading alerts. 'How come the stock exchanges never sanctioned Jane Street? They are the very first to get such alerts,' Sharma wrote. 'How can they sanction JS when it drives F&O volume massively, hence SE profits?' 'Exchanges are not meant to chase profits' Sharma, who has often criticised the structure of listed exchanges, renewed his call for a rethink of their role. According to him, exchanges function as quasi-regulators and should operate like public utilities — not profit-driven corporations. 'I have long held that exchanges should NEVER get listed. They are a regulator. Profit motive creates endless conflict of interest,' he wrote. 'SEs should be a utility, not for-profits. Simple as that. Nahi to, suffer all this hanky-panky.' Live Events Sebi vs Jane Street On Friday, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) passed an interim order accusing Jane Street, a U.S.-based proprietary trading firm, of using high-frequency trading strategies to manipulate index levels such as the Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty. Sebi alleged that Jane Street pushed up index values in the morning by buying stocks and futures, only to reverse those trades later in the day, thereby influencing expiry-day pricing of options in its favour. The regulator said this allowed the firm to generate profits of over Rs 43,000 crore in index options, while deliberately incurring losses in the futures and equities segments. Sebi has frozen Rs 4,843 crore in what it described as 'unlawful gains' and barred Jane Street and its entities from accessing the Indian securities market until further notice. Stock exchanges under scrutin In its order, Sebi mentioned that stock exchanges had issued caution letters to Jane Street in the past. However, it remains unclear what further steps, if any, the exchanges took before Sebi stepped in with enforcement action. Sharma's remarks have drawn attention to this issue, especially since one of the two major exchanges—BSE—is a listed entity, while National Stock Exchange (NSE) remains unlisted but operates as a for-profit organisation. The matter has sparked a broader debate about the role of exchanges in maintaining market integrity, particularly when sophisticated trading strategies and high-volume players are involved.

Reuters' X account blocked in India 'due to legal demand', govt sources deny raising any request
Sources in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said that Reuters' X account may have been blocked due to a confusion or a technical glitch from the X side read more On Sunday (July 6), users pointed out that international news agency Reuters' X account had been blocked in India. When users tried accessing the account, a notice popped up, saying the account had been withheld 'in response to a legal demand'. However, the Indian government sources have denied raising any new request in this regard and sought an explanation from the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. Sources in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology told Network 18 that it seems to be a confusion or a technical glitch from the X side. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The government did not ask X to block Reuters. Have asked X why they have done it. So many other handles of Reuters are still available in India, which shows that the government wants Reuters in India. It seems like a technical issue or confusion from the X side," they said. Along with Reuters, the Reuters World account is also inaccessible to users in India. Confusion According to sources quoted in media reports, X seems to have acted now on a request made by the Indian government during Operation Sindoor in the month of May. The Reuters' account was not blocked then, as requested by New Delhi. However, it seems, the X officials did act on that request now. 'An order was issued on May 7 (during Operation Sindoor) but it was not enforced. X seems to have enforced that order now which is a mistake on their part. Government has reached out to X for resolving it at the earliest,' an official source said. Notably, other accounts of Reuters, such as Reuters Tech News, Reuters Fact Check, Reuters Asia, and Reuters China, are still accessible in India. This comes days after the Indian government faced criticism online for unblocking several Pakistani-origin social media handles, which were blocked during the four-day standoff with Pakistan. However, the government had to reinstate the ban within 24 hours. It's likely that the government may have now sent a new request to X to block all the handles which were targeted in the original order issued in May, thus taking down Reuters too.
