SEBI proposed in a consultation paper late on May 21 that if a share in the futures and options segment falls or rises by 10% a day, trading would be suspended for an hour, up from the current fifteen minutes, and then allowed to move only a further 2%, down from the current 5%.
The proposed restrictions follow a free fall this year in shares of billionaire Gautam Adani's group companies after U.S.- based short seller Hindenburg Research raised governance concerns in January. The group collectively lost more than $100 billion in market value soon after the Hindenburg report was published.
