Abstract
This research paper critically examines the evolution of securities regulation in India, with a primary focus on the institutional and legal development of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). It outlines the transition from an unregulated, opaque market structure to a robust regulatory framework shaped by economic liberalization and key financial scandals such as the Harshad Mehta scam. The study analyzes historical legislative efforts including the Companies Acts and the Capital Issues (Control) Act, 1947 highlighting their limitations in investor protection and market transparency. It further evaluates SEBI’s emergence as a statutory body, its regulatory tools, and its role in transforming India’s capital markets through reforms in disclosure norms, market surveillance, and corporate governance. The paper also explores SEBI’s expanded jurisdiction, technological interventions, and alignment with global standards. It concludes by reflecting on evolving jurisprudence and the persistent challenges in achieving market efficiency and investor trust.
