SEBI proposes a phased shift from cash to physical settlement for select agri-commodity derivatives, starting with maize, groundnut, or chilli.Summary
SEBI has proposed a phased implementation of physical settlement for select agricultural commodity derivatives contracts, aiming to balance market development with the retention of physical settlement's role. Initially, contracts would trade as financially settled, with a gradual shift to physical delivery. The pilot phase may cover maize, groundnut, and chilli derivatives. Stakeholders are invited to submit comments on the proposal until June 2, 2026. The approach reflects a calibrated regulatory strategy to support market growth while ensuring adequate physical settlement mechanisms.
