The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recently announced a significant change in disclosure norms for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). 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, aimed at enhancing transparency and regulatory compliance, has come into effect immediately. This move by Sebi is expected to streamline the reporting process for FPIs and ensure greater clarity on ownership structures in the Indian market. The updated disclosure norms are likely to benefit both investors and regulatory authorities by promoting a more robust and accountable investment environment.
