The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recently announced a significant change in disclosure norms for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in a move to streamline regulations and enhance transparency in the Indian market. 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 in India are now required to provide detailed ownership information. The revised framework is aimed at ensuring better regulatory compliance and preventing any potential market risks. The updated guidelines have come into effect immediately, and FPIs are expected to adhere to the new disclosure requirements. This development is likely to have a significant impact on FPIs operating in the Indian market and is expected to strengthen the overall regulatory framework governing foreign investments. By raising the asset threshold for disclosure, Sebi aims to promote greater transparency and accountability among FPIs, ultimately fostering a more robust and secure investment environment in India.
