Foreign investors welcome in shooting league, says NRAI president

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) is not averse to foreign entities buying stakes in the franchise-based Shooting League of India, said its president Kalikesh Singh Deo following a meeting of the federation to take key decisions on the event. The inaugural edition of the league is scheduled later this year. The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), the global governing body for the sport, has officially allotted a November-December window for SLI and the event is likely to be organised from November 24 to December 7. A total of 6-8 city-based franchises will own the teams and bid for players via an auction. Each team will consist of 12 athletes (6 men, 6 women), including up to four foreign players (two men, two women). "We have started conversation with (prospective) franchises. But I don't see the reason why a foreign franchise would be interested; that they can't have a stake, given of course subject to any conditions in the law of the land," said Singh De

FPIs invest ₹18,620 crore in May on global cues, domestic strength

Foreign investors continue to show confidence in the country's equity market, infusing Rs 18,620 crore so far this month, driven by a combination of global tailwinds and improving domestic fundamentals. This positive momentum follows a net investment of Rs 4,223 crore in April, marking the first inflow in three months, data with the depositories showed. Prior to this, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) had pulled out Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February, and a substantial Rs 78,027 crore in January.

According to the data from the depositories, foreign portfolio investors made a net investment of Rs 18,620 crore in equities this month (till May 16). The total outflow stood at Rs 93,731 crore in 2025 so far. India's equity markets witnessed a sharp resurgence in FPI activity in April. The susta

FPIs withdraw over Rs 5,200 crore in April so far from domestic equities

Foreign investors dumped domestic equities worth over Rs 5,200 crore in April so far on concerns over tweaks in India's tax treaty with Mauritius, which would now impose higher scrutiny on investments made here via the island nation. This came following a staggering net investment of Rs 35,098 crore in March and Rs 1,539 crore in February, data with the depositories showed. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net outflow of Rs 5,254 crore in Indian equities this month (till April 19).

The two nations have reached a consensus on a protocol amending a double taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA). The protocol specifies that tax relief cannot be utilized for th

Foreign investor count little changed since 2013

The foreign investor count in the capital markets has remained about the same in the past four years, despite overhaul of regulations to ease the entry process.At the end of May, there were 8,781 foreign institutions. Of which 7,807 were foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and 974 were deemed-FPIs (foreign institutional investors, yet to transit to the FPI regime). In December 2013, before the new FPI regime took effect, there were 8,557 FIIs, including 6,410 sub-accounts.This is in contrast to the popular perception that the foreign investor base has increased significantly in recent years, after introduction of the FPI regulations by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).Regulators and market players tend to claim there has been a sharp increase in direct FPI registration, following tightening of the participatory notes (p-notes) framework. The surge, however, is more on account of transfer of erstwhile FIIs to the new FPI regime, rather than a drastic increase in new ...
