India's stock market regulator imposes new IT system stress tests and capacity planning rules.

India's stock market regulator, SEBI, has issued new guidelines requiring stock exchanges, clearing corporations, and depositories to enhance their IT systems' capacity planning and real-time monitoring. These institutions must ensure their systems can handle at least 1.5 times the projected peak load, based on trends and historical data. They are required to conduct quarterly stress tests and take immediate action if IT usage exceeds 75% for 15 consecutive days. Depositories have three months to implement the new capacity planning guidelines, while other provisions take effect immediately.
