Gandhinagar, Sep 8: The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has introduced a new framework to prevent market abuse in the securities markets operating from GIFT City, aimed at strengthening transparency and protecting investors.
The IFSCA (Prohibition of Market Abuse in Securities Markets) Regulations, 2026 were notified on September 7, bringing clearer rules for dealing with activities that can affect fair and orderly trading.
The new framework is designed to address market manipulation and other unfair trading practices while improving the overall integrity of the securities market.
The move comes as GIFT City continues to develop as an international financial centre, with growing participation from investors, financial institutions and market intermediaries.
For investors and market participants, the new rules are expected to provide greater clarity on market conduct and strengthen confidence in the securities market.
The latest regulations are part of IFSCA’s broader efforts to build a transparent, well-regulated and internationally competitive financial ecosystem at GIFT City.
