The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is working towards implementing one-hour trade settlements by the end of the current fiscal year. This move is part of SEBI’s ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency and speed of trade settlement processes in India’s stock markets. The regulator’s goal is to reduce the time it takes for a trade to be settled from the current two days (T+2) to just one hour. This initiative is expected to streamline trading operations, reduce risks, and bring the Indian market in line with global standards. Achieving one-hour trade settlements would mark a significant milestone in India’s financial markets, making them more attractive to both domestic and international investors.
