SEBI Shakes Up Markets: Proposes Raising Minimum Block Deal Size to ₹25 Crore

India's market regulator just dropped a bombshell on institutional traders.
Block deals are getting a major overhaul—SEBI wants to raise the minimum order threshold to ₹25 crore, effectively reshaping how big money moves in Indian markets.
The new proposal forces institutional players to think bigger—or get left behind. Smaller block trades? They're getting squeezed out of the game entirely.
Traders now face a stark choice: adapt to larger, more impactful transactions or watch from the sidelines. Liquidity patterns could shift overnight as institutions consolidate their positions.
Another brilliant move that'll probably create more paperwork than actual market efficiency—because nothing says 'progress' like forcing everyone to trade bigger chunks while regulators pat themselves on the back.
