Capital markets emerging as key avenue for household savings: Sebi chief
Capital markets are increasingly emerging as a core avenue for household savings and wealth creation in India, reflecting a structural shift in how Indians are investing and participating in the country's growth story, SEBI Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Monday.

Under the proposal, regular AIF schemes would be allowed to launch within 10 working days of filing the PPM with Sebi through a merchant banker, unless the regulator raises objections.
