Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Friday released a long-pending discussion paper to tighten regulations on algorithmic trading.

Among aspects SEBI will examine were random speed bumps and randomisation of orders, the statement said.

“SEBI is examining various options to allay the fear and concern of unfair and inequitable access to the trading systems of the exchanges,” the regulator said.

It asked market participants to submit comments by Aug. 31.
