SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Wednesday said that SEBI is exploring a new regulatory framework for alternative investment funds (AIFs) that could speed up the launch of fund schemes. India has AIF commitments of approximately ₹15.74 lakh crore and investments of approximately ₹6.45 lakh crore, as of December 2025. "AIFs often invest in early-stage and illiquid assets," he added.
