SEBI has barred US-based Jane Street Group from participating in the Indian stock market and ordered it to disgorge unlawful gains of ₹4,843 crore for allegedly manipulating stock indices through derivative positions.

India’s stock market regulator has banned Jane Street from dealing securities in the country, accusing the New York-based trading firm of a “sinister scheme” to manipulate derivatives markets. The Securities and Exchange Board of India said its decision to limit Jane Street’s access to India’s securities markets stemmed from a months-long investigation.
