SEBI will ‘weed out’ outdated policies, rationalise those which are necessary, the chairman of the markets regulator Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Saturday.

Tuhin Kanta Pandey was addressing the Mint India Investment Summit & Awards 2025 when he made the comments.

“SEBI will weed out those (policies) which are outdated and rationalise those which may be necessary. This will be consistent with our object of achieving optimum regulation and creating ease of doing business by reducing compliance burden and the cost of regulation,” the SEBI chairperson said while speaking at the summit on March 29.

SEBI fast tracking fundraising

Talking further, Tuhin Kanta Pandey said that the markets regulator is taking all possible steps to raise funds in the markets without delay.

While it has prescribed norms for issuers of securities for faster fundraising process, internally, too, SEBI is using tools to enhance the same.

“SEBI prescribes norms for issuers of securities to ensure that funds are raised without delay and deployed efficiently,” Pandey said.

“Internally, SEBI is using technology, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that the fundraising documents are cleared as fast as possible without compromising on disclosures,” the SEBI chairperson added.
