NEW DELHI: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Pandey on March 14 said India’s capital markets are deepening and becoming increasingly resilient even as global headwinds continue to create volatility. Speaking at the Global Wealth Summit 2026 event, the SEBI chief also advised retail investors not to react impulsively to short-term market fluctuations.
“For retail investors, the best strategy would be to remain patient,” Pandey said. He also added that markets have historically recovered after major global disruptions. He said Indian capital markets are expanding in scale, diversity and strength.
“They are deepening, diversified and becoming increasingly resilient. But as markets grow in scale and complexity they also become more closely connected to global developments. And that brings us to the changing landscape in which today’s market operates,” he told the gathering. Acknowledging turbulence in global markets, Pandey said geopolitical tensions, technological disruptions and energy shocks are contributing to uncertainty.
“Geopolitical tensions are shaping economic relationships. Conflict in the Middle East has massively disrupted energy supplies. Inevitably, capital markets have been severely impacted,” he said. He noted that volatility has become a defining feature of modern financial markets as information spreads rapidly across economies. However, such phases are not permanent.
