Have FPIs implicated in Adani case revealed details of their owners: Cong

Noting that September 9 was the deadline for Foreign Portfolio Investors to disclose the beneficial owners of their holdings, the Congress on Wednesday asked SEBI if those implicated in the Adani matter have done so and why has it taken the capital markets regulator 18 months to enforce the new norm. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said it is September 11 today, two days after the SEBI's September 9 deadline for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) - those who stand accused of holding concentrated portions of their equity portfolio in a single corporate group - to disclose the beneficial owners of their holdings. "We had raised this issue a few days ago, in light of information that two Mauritius-based FPIs that were part of the revelations in the still-unfolding Modani mega scam, have petitioned the Securities Appellate Tribunal to seek urgent relief from complying with these new foreign investor norms," he said in a post on X.

FPIs invest Rs 32,365 cr in equities in July on continued policy reforms

Foreign investors infused Rs 32,365 crore into Indian equities in July on the back of expectation of continued policy reforms and sustained economic growth and better-than-expected earnings season. However, they pulled Rs 1,027 crore from equities in the first two trading sessions of this month (August 1-2), data with the depositories showed. There has been a mixed trend with respect to FPI flows following the budget announcement on increase in capital gains tax on equity investments. Going forward, developments in the US economy and markets will set the trend for FPI in August, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said. "Weaker-than-expected employment data along with slowing economy has made it certain that the US Fed is expected to cut rates in September. The more important question here is the extent of cut. Currently, there is strong commentary getting built for maybe a 50 basis points rate cut in interest rates," Vaibhav Porwal, Co-founder
