Sebi allows exit of Hyderabad stock exchange

Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Monday allowed the Hyderabad stock exchange to exit the exchange space, putting an end to a long-drawn legal battle between it and the regulator. This marks the first exit by a regional bourse after Sebi introduced exit norms for exchanges in May 2012.
