Businesses need to brace for tougher regulatory landscape in 2025
Live MintCorporations must brace for heightened regulatory scrutiny in 2025 with various regulators preparing to enforce stricter oversight and actions. The Securities and Exchange Board of India, Competition Commission of India, Central Consumer Protection Authority, and tax authorities are expected to tighten their stance, forcing businesses to enhance compliance, streamline processes, and adapt to evolving governance standards. “The increase in the volume and complexity of transactions, coupled with India’s integration into global markets, has kept regulators busy," said Alok Sonkar, partner at law firm Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. “Regulators have raised the governance bar with stricter due diligence for AIFs and performance evaluations for market infrastructure institutions, ushering in greater transparency," said Kaushik Mukherjee, partner, IndusLaw. The CCPA also introduced guidelines to combat misleading environmental claims, banning vague terms like “eco-friendly" or “sustainable" unless supported by reliable scientific evidence or third-party certifications.
