SEBI\u2019s monitoring, based mainly on end-of-day reporting, failed to detect these activities for over two years. Retail investors, misled by morning rallies and trapped by afternoon declines, saw leveraged positions wiped out, driving derivative losses sharply higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, SEBI imposed a record \u20b94,843 crore penalty and introduced reforms such as real-time monitoring, AI-powered surveillance, and stricter rules for algorithmic trading.
