SEBI extends ETF norms implementation deadline to September 7
The regulator said the extension followed feedback from stock exchanges and was aimed at ensuring a smooth rollout of the provisions.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has extended the deadline for implementing regulations governing Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) by a week. The provisions, initially set to take effect on September 1, 2026, will now commence from September 7, 2026. SEBI announced this decision in a circular, citing feedback from stock exchanges and the need for a smooth implementation process.
The extended timeline applies to various aspects of ETF operations, including base price, price bands, call auctions in the pre-open session, and the close-out procedure. SEBI's circular from June 15, 2026, detailed the new norms, and all other provisions outlined in that document remain unchanged. Market infrastructure institutions (MIIs) have been instructed to take necessary steps to comply with the new rules, including updating relevant bye-laws and informing market participants, particularly investors, about the changes. SEBI emphasized that comments must be in English and adhere to the platform's community guidelines.
