NEW DELHI/MUMBAI Indian stock exchanges will stop licensing products and data to overseas bourses, a move that has sparked concerns in Singapore and elsewhere about market access and potential trading disruptions.

The Indian exchanges made the decision on Feb. 9, looking to limit the migration of trading volume to Singapore, Dubai and other foreign locations.
