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 in India will now be required to provide detailed ownership information. The revised framework is now in effect, aiming to provide greater transparency in the Indian financial markets. This move by Sebi is expected to enhance regulatory compliance and strengthen oversight of FPI activities in the country. It is a step towards aligning with global standards and ensuring a more robust and accountable investment environment. The updated disclosure norms are set to offer more clarity and insights into the ownership structures of large FPIs operating in India. This development underscores Sebi’s commitment to promoting integrity and efficiency in the Indian securities market. FPIs are urged to adhere to the new requirements promptly to avoid any potential non-compliance issues. The increased asset threshold signifies a proactive approach by Sebi to adapt to the evolving dynamics of the financial landscape, reinforcing investor confidence and regulatory clarity.
