The government has taken an important step forward by simplifying export procedures through DGFT’s digital platforms, but there’s a need to further streamline the regulatory and compliance requirements. The DGFT’s digital platform may be connected with SATHI (Seed Traceability, Authentication and Holistic Inventory) portal meant for converting manual certification process into a globally verifiable digital asset. Further, quality conscious post harvest processing and reliable logistics are to be ensured, as seeds are quality-sensitive products and quality of seeds makes all the difference in exports.Kosaraju ChandramouliHyderabadSEBI’s CAS experimentThe article ‘SEBI shouldn’t have gone in for CAS’ (September 1) rightly captures the judgment error in bringing in a new Closing Auction Session (CAS) to fix a system which was not even remotely broken. The implementation has led to wild swings in Sensex at closing and the increased volatility has unfairly favoured the sophisticated derivative strategy in a thin market. There are enough challenges in the market, with geopolitical, inflation and growth risks. The timing of this move by SEBI could not have been worse.Pradip MenonKochiIPO investingApropos ‘Failed anchors’ (September 1), retail investors should not subscribe to an IPO merely because familiar institutional investors have anchored it. Institutional participation may signal confidence, but it cannot guarantee post-listing gains. Investors must assess the company’s financial performance, industry outlook, risks disclosed in the prospectus and their own risk tolerance before subscribing.NR NagarajanSivakasi, TNPublished on September 1, 2026Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
