RBI policy, foreign investment draft and government securities auction
The RBI rolled out a draft framework on foreign investments and announced a massive ₹28,000 cr government securities auction, signalling tighter capital controls and liquidity management.
The central bank issued a draft set of rules aimed at tightening foreign investment flows, highlighting its regulatory intent for the coming year. In a parallel move, the RBI notified the implementation of Section 51A of the UAPA, updating sanctions that affect banks and NBFCs. It also scheduled an underwriting auction of government securities worth ₹28,000 crore on July 24, with the full auction results now released, offering a clear gauge of market demand and yield expectations. Together, these actions point to a more controlled capital environment and set the tone for market liquidity in the weeks ahead.

SEBI enforcement and certification changes
SEBI introduced a single NISM qualification for SIF distributors while issuing several enforcement orders against market participants.
The regulator simplified certification for systematic investment fund distributors by mandating a single NISM qualification, a change that could streamline compliance for intermediaries. At the same time, SEBI took enforcement action: a show‑cause notice against Capital Via Global Research Ltd, an adjudication order on A2Z Infra Engineering Ltd, and a settlement with Modulus Alternatives Investment Managers for violating pro‑rata rules. These moves underscore SEBI’s focus on tightening market conduct and ensuring stricter oversight of intermediaries and listed entities.
