SEBI barred eight from India’s markets and seized ₹173 crore in profits from insider trading on leaked CERC decision affecting IEX.
SEBI has barred eight individuals and entities from India’s securities markets and ordered them to surrender ₹173.14 crore in alleged insider trading profits tied to confidential information about a CERC regulatory decision on market coupling, which was expected to harm Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) trading volumes.
The order, issued on October 15, 2025, follows a probe into abnormal trading in IEX put options before a July 23 announcement, which triggered a 29.58% share price drop.
SEBI found evidence of coordinated trading based on non-public information, possibly leaked from a CERC official, leading to the impounding of funds via fixed deposits with a lien in favor of the regulator and freezing of related bank accounts.
The case underscores SEBI’s enforcement of market integrity and its crackdown on insider trading.
