The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recently announced a significant change in disclosure norms for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) operating 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 in India will now be required to provide detailed ownership information. The revised framework has come into effect immediately, signaling a shift in transparency requirements for large FPIs in the Indian market. This move is aimed at enhancing regulatory compliance and ensuring greater transparency in the operations of FPIs. It is expected to provide investors and stakeholders with more comprehensive insights into the ownership structures of major FPIs operating in India. The updated disclosure norms are likely to have a significant impact on how FPIs conduct their operations and manage their investments in the country. By increasing the asset threshold for disclosure, Sebi is taking a proactive step towards strengthening the regulatory framework governing FPIs in India. This development underscores Sebi’s commitment to promoting a transparent and well-regulated investment environment in the country.
