Sebi says no panel is weighing NSE self-trading
In short
Sebi said it is not looking at a plan for exchange shares to trade on the exchange itself. The comment came after NSE chief Ashish Kumar Chauhan suggested the idea and said it could be revisited later.
This matters for NSE, other exchanges and market rules. For now, no Sebi panel is studying the proposal, and what happens next is not stated in the available reporting.
What the reporting says
Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator is not currently considering self-listing or self-trading of exchange shares, after NSE CEO Ashish Kumar Chauhan suggested exploring the idea. Pandey said no Sebi panel is discussing the proposal at present, while Chauhan had raised conflict-of-interest concerns and said the idea could be revisited as the market ecosystem matures. The immediate implication is that there is no active regulatory move yet.
Why it matters

The reporting says no Sebi panel is discussing the proposal now, and Chauhan had pointed to conflict-of-interest concerns. The immediate effect is to cool speculation around a possible rule change, but the timing or any formal review remains unknown.
