The Securities and Exchange Board of India proposed easing position limits for agricultural derivatives to improve market liquidity. Current limits for widely traded commodities are 0.5% and 1% across two separate categories, while those impacting inflation directly stand at 0.25%, with SEBI proposing to raise them to 0.5%. These reforms aim to attract institutional investors by reducing the friction of physical delivery requirements in the commodities market.
