Sebi extends deadline for FPI ODI issuance framework to Nov 17

Markets regulator Sebi on Friday extended the timeline for implementing the framework regarding tightening of rules on issuance of offshore derivative instruments (ODIs) by FPIs to November 17. Sebi, in December, came out with the framework, which was to become effective from May 17. The framework provides for additional disclosures to be made by ODI subscribers and FPIs (Foreign Portfolio Investors) with segregated portfolios. "Based on representations received from market participants and in order to ensure smooth implementation of the said circular (issued in December), it has been decided to extend the timeline, ...to November 17, 2025," Sebi said in a circular. The circular proposed to prohibit FPIs from issuing ODIs with derivatives as the underlying or using derivatives to hedge their ODIs in India. This was aimed at addressing regulatory arbitrage for ODIs and FPIs with segregated portfolios. Further, FPIs cannot hedge ODIs with derivatives on Indian stock exchanges. ODIs

FPIs infuse ₹4,223 cr in April, turn net buyers for first time in 3 months

Foreign investors have injected Rs 4,223 crore in the country's equity market in April as they turned net buyers for the first time in three months amid a blend of favourable global cues and robust domestic fundamentals. The inflow of foreign capital came last month following a back-to-back net outflow of Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. Going ahead, FPI inflows could remain stable, but will be constrained by the modest earnings growth of around 5 per cent in FY25, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 4,223 crore in equities in the entire April. The latest flow has helped in narrowing the outflow to Rs 1.12 lakh crore in 2025 so far. India's equity markets witnessed a sharp resurgence in FPI activity in April, signalling a marked reversal from the outflows seen earlier this year. This re

No point unsettling system, FPIs should accept current taxation: Sebi chief

Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Saturday said there is no point unsettling the current taxation, and the foreign portfolio investors need to "live with" the system. Pandey, who took over as the Sebi chief three weeks ago, also said some companies are making "blatantly false disclosures" and the capital markets regulator does not "hesitate" to act against such malpractices. On the issue of taxation, Pandey listed out a slew of advantages which India -- the fastest growing large economy in the world -- offers, including delivering superior returns, stable policy environment and inflation being under control. "If some certainties have already come in terms of taxation, let us not unsettle it," he said, listing out positives with India like delivering over 11 per cent per annum returns on the MSCI over the last five years, fastest growing large economy, stable inflation, and fiscal consolidation. Consumption is picking up, and there is an upswing in capital formation both by the ..

FPIs withdraw Rs 30,000 crore from equities in first fortnight in March

Foreign investors continue to pull back money from the Indian equity market withdrawing a little over Rs 30,000 crore in the first fortnight of the month amid escalation in global trade tensions. This came following an outflow of Rs 34,574 crore from equities in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. With these, the total outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.42 lakh crore (USD 16.5 billion) in 2025 so far, data with the depositories showed. According to the data, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) offloaded shares worth Rs 30,015 crore from Indian equities this month (till March 13). This also marks the 14th consecutive week of net outflows. The prolonged selling pressure is driven by a combination of global and domestic factors. The uncertainty surrounding US trade policies under President Donald Trump, raising concerns about a potential tariff-induced recession, has weighed on global risk appetite, prompting FPIs to adopt a cautious stance towards emerging markets like India, Him
