SEBI has revised the trading framework for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) by introducing dynamic price bands, effective from September 2026.
For equity and debt ETFs (excluding overnight and liquid ETFs), the fixed 20% price band based on Net Asset Value (NAV) is replaced by a dynamic price band starting at 10%, which can be expanded up to 20% after a cooling-off period. If prices hit the upper threshold, the band expands by 5% increments.
For commodity ETFs tracking gold and silver, the framework prescribes dynamic price bands with an initial limit of ±6%, which can be expanded in stages of 3% after a cooling-off period.
