MSE Issues Official Clarification Refuting Reuters Report on Options Market Entry
February 10, 2026 | Mumbai, India — Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Limited (MSE) categorically rejects the inaccurate representation of its name in the Reuters article titled “Exclusive: India regulator stalls new exchanges' entry into options market, sources say”, published on February 10, 2026.
The headline and narrative, issued by a reputed global news agency, create a misleading impression and cast unwarranted doubt on MSE’s operations. Such reporting undermines the Exchange’s ongoing efforts and risks generating confusion among stakeholders in India’s capital markets ecosystem.
MSE is a fully operational, SEBI-recognized stock exchange supported by robust technological infrastructure and full regulatory compliance. Any suggestion that SEBI has imposed a pause or restriction on MSE’s equity derivatives launch is based on unverified speculation from unnamed sources.

The Exchange continues to strengthen its market ecosystem through strategic initiatives. As outlined in our January 27, 2026 press release, these measures include the appointment of market makers to enhance liquidity and improve market depth in the Equity Segment. These steps demonstrate our sustained commitment to transparent, inclusive, and long-term growth.
MSE urges Reuters to promptly rectify the inaccuracies and withdraw references that misrepresent our position and efforts. We also request media organizations to circulate this clarification to restore confidence and ensure factual accuracy in public discourse surrounding India’s capital markets.
