Regulator Sebi will hold a meeting with officials of stock exchanges next week to discuss various issues, including instances of technical glitches in trading platforms.
The meeting of representatives from the bourses with Sebi Chairman Ajay Tyagi is scheduled on June 6, according to officials at stock exchanges.
The exchanges are expected to apprise the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) about the various developments related to the capital markets, they said.
Besides, the regulator may take up the R Gandhi committee report on norms related to Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs).
According to the officials, the issues of recent technical problem with MCX's trading system and "disruption" in NSE's web-based tool NOW, are expected to be discussed.
