MUMBAI – The Securities and Exchange Board of India will soon issue a consultation paper seeking comments about ending the weekly expiry of derivatives contracts, SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey told a press conference Friday. "The issue of weekly expiry is complex," Pandey said. He added that the markets regulator is collecting views on the subject.

Asked about the long-pending initial public offering of the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd., Pandey said, "I think it should be coming soon, after we fully do all the formalities regarding settlement." The SEBI chief said there has been progress in the matter and some outstanding issues regarding the public offering "are getting resolved".

The regulator also said foreign portfolio investor registrations in India have risen over the past year. "Currently, we are receiving around 100 applications (from FPIs) every month," SEBI said. "Registered FPIs now stand at around 12,000, compared with about 10,500 a year ago."  End
