RBI policy moves and market liquidity

RBI's draft foreign investment rules, a big securities auction and fresh FPI inflows set the tone for markets today.

The RBI released a draft framework for future foreign investment rules, signalling a possible liberalisation of capital flows. Combined with its announcement of a ₹28,000 crore government securities auction on July 24 and the publication of the auction results, the central bank is shaping short‑term liquidity. Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors pumped about ₹20,200 crore into equities in July, ending a four‑month outflow, and RBI policy cues are set to drive market sentiment alongside Q1 earnings.

SEBI regulatory and enforcement actions

New certification rules and a string of enforcement orders tighten SEBI's oversight of the market.

SEBI rolled out a single‑certification requirement for SIF distributors, consolidating NISM qualifications, while a series of enforcement actions hit the market. A show‑cause notice to Capital Via Global Research and adjudication orders against A2Z Infra and Alankit Assignments underscore tighter oversight. The regulator also settled a pro‑rata interest breach by Modulus Alternatives and disclosed that domestic investors now own a record 17 % of equities, a 15‑year low for foreign holdings.

Strong earnings, a takeover bid and fresh listings add corporate momentum to the market.

HDB Financial Services posted a 38.3 % jump in Q1 FY27 profit, beating expectations and highlighting strength in its lending franchise. In parallel, LIPPI Systems received a formal takeover offer, while SME‑focused IPOs and the new listing of Indo‑MIM Ltd add fresh issuance activity. Consumer giants are also signalling fresh price hikes, which could ripple through retail margins and demand.
