Indian equities and government securities are set to become more accessible to overseas investors after the Finance Ministry announced a series of reforms aimed at attracting long-term foreign capital and deepening domestic capital markets.
The measures, announced June 5, include liberalized investment rules for individual Persons Resident Outside India (PROIs), expanded access for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in government securities, and tax exemptions on interest and capital gains earned by FPIs from investments in government bonds.
