Kya hua
SEBI commodity derivatives market mein co-location allow karne ke final stages mein hai; rollout ka chance H1 2027 mein hai.
SEBI India ke commodity derivatives market mein co-location services allow karne ke final stages mein baat kar rahi hai, aur rollout ka chance first half of 2027 mein hai. Ye information Livemint ko three anonymous sources se mili hai — abhi koi official circular nahi aaya hai.
Co-location ka matlab hai ki traders apne servers exchange ke data centre ke andar rakh sakte hain, jisse order latency kam ho jaati hai — aur trading mein har millisecond matter karta hai.
Abhi ke rules ke hisaab se commodities segment mein co-location allowed nahi hai. SEBI ka Master Circular (August 2023) clearly prohibit karta hai aisi koi bhi facility jo kuch members ko doosron se disadvantage de. Equities mein co-location 20 saal se zyada time se chal raha hai, toh ye change commodity market ko equity market ke kareeb laayega. SEBI shuruat mein ye sirf non-agricultural commodit
Ye akele change nahi hai — India ka commodity derivatives market institutions ke liye slowly khul raha hai. August 2026 mein SEBI ne FPIs (foreign investors) ke liye proposals diye ki woh zyada non-agri commodity derivatives trade kar sakein, aur CDAC ne unhe back kiya hai. Abhi FPIs sirf cash-settled non-agri contracts jaise crude oil aur natural gas trade kar sakte hain.
FPI access plus co-location dono saath aaye toh price discovery better hogi, liquidity aur market depth badhegi, aur India global standards ke kareeb pahunchega. MCX — jo India ka sabse bada commodity exchange hai — pehle se hi co-location offer karne ke favour mein hai. Industry body ANMI bhi faster rollout maang rahi hai.
SEBI ki caution ki wajah: past mein speculation aur manipulation ke concerns, aur ye segment physical delivery se juda hai.

Co-location budget na hone se chhote participants speed disadvantage mein aa sakte hain; agri contracts shayad exclude rahenge.
Seedhi baat
H1 2027 mein aane ka chance hai (pehle metals/energy, agri excluded), lekin SEBI ka official announcement abhi nahi — almost-done samjho, done nahi.
