## Sebi board approves FPI participation
Sebi's board approved a proposal allowing foreign portfolio investors to participate in physically settled non-agricultural commodity derivative contracts subject to safeguards.
## Sebi examines non-agri position limits
Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator is examining position limits for non-agricultural contracts to improve liquidity and market depth without weakening risk controls.
## Phased approach for contracts
Pandey noted physical settlement from the outset can impede market development in agricultural commodities, so a phased approach allows contracts to mature before physical settlement becomes mandatory.
## Technology for market needs
Sebi aims for technology to serve commodity market needs including producers, commercial users, farmers, processors, and physical hedgers while preserving fair access and market integrity.
## Project Jagrook awareness
Sebi will strengthen Project Jagrook efforts to spread awareness about commodity derivatives among farmers, FPOs, MSMEs, hedgers, and other market users.

> Access without understanding is not inclusion
## Trust and market integrity
Pandey stressed that trust and market integrity must not be compromised while improving cash markets, securities borrowing, and efficient hedging to strengthen price discovery.
## Key takeaway

Sebi will examine position limits for non-agricultural commodity derivatives to improve liquidity without weakening risk controls.
