Union Finance & Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday (April 25, 2026) asked the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to be ready to meet the emerging challenges, more specifically cybersecurity challenges.
“A single successful cyberattack on a major exchange, depository, clearing corporation, or large broker could disrupt markets at national scale, erase wealth, and shake public confidence in ways that take years to rebuild,” Ms. Sitharaman said.
