The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recently announced a significant change in disclosure norms for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in the country. The regulatory body has increased the asset threshold for granular beneficial ownership disclosures from Rs 25,000 crore to Rs 50,000 crore. This means that FPIs with equity assets under management (AUM) exceeding Rs 50,000 crore are now required to disclose detailed ownership information. The updated framework is already in effect, marking a shift in transparency requirements for large FPIs operating in India. This move is aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in the foreign investment landscape in the country. The revised norms are expected to provide better insights into the ownership structures of FPIs with significant investments in the Indian market. By raising the disclosure threshold, Sebi aims to ensure greater clarity and understanding of the ownership patterns of major foreign investors. This development underscores the regulatory efforts to streamline and strengthen the investment environment for FPIs in India.
