Jane Street, a US trading giant, is facing challenges in India as the company’s operations have come under scrutiny by Indian regulatory authorities. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has accused Jane Street of violating foreign exchange rules by conducting high-frequency trading (HFT) activities through a subsidiary based in Mauritius.
The issue came to light during a routine investigation by SEBI into foreign investment activities in Indian markets. SEBI alleges that Jane Street used its Mauritius-based subsidiary to carry out HFT in Indian markets, which is not permitted under Indian regulations.
Jane Street has refuted these claims, stating that its operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The company has emphasized its commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethics and compliance in all its business activities.
SEBI has not disclosed specific details of the alleged violations or the potential consequences for Jane Street. The regulatory body has stated that it will continue its investigation to determine the extent of the violations and take appropriate action.
The situation has raised concerns about the regulatory environment for foreign investors in India, with some market participants worried about the potential impact on investor confidence. It also highlights the challenges faced by multinational firms operating in multiple jurisdictions with differing regulatory requirements.
Overall, the outcome of SEBI’s investigation into Jane Street’s activities in India will have implications not only for the company but also for the broader foreign investment landscape in the country.
