Markets watchdog Sebi's board is likely to discuss a series of regulatory reforms during its upcoming meeting on Wednesday. Several of these proposals have already been floated for public consultation, indicating a broader push towards refining the regulatory landscape. This would mark the second board meeting under the chairmanship of Tuhin Kanta Pandey, who assumed office on March 1. One of the key agenda items is the simplification of rules and regulatory compliance for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) investing exclusively in Indian Government Bonds (IGBs) through the Voluntary Retention Route (VRR) and the Fully Accessible Route (FAR). This move is aimed at attracting more long-term bond investors to the Indian market, people aware of the development said. Currently, foreign investors can invest in Indian debt through three routes-- General, VRR, and FAR.

Foreign investors have infused nearly Rs 31,000 crore in the Indian equity markets in the last six trading sessions of the month primarily due to attractive valuations, appreciation in the rupee and improvement in macroeconomic indicators. The re-emergence of Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) as buyers contributed to a smart recovery of about 6 per cent in benchmark index Nifty, reflecting renewed confidence in the market. This latest infusion has also helped reduce the overall outflow for March to Rs 3,973 crore, according to data from the depositories.
