India Considers Tax Reforms Amid Challenges in Attracting Foreign Investment
India's capital markets have grown significantly over 36 years, but current foreign portfolio investor (FPI) sentiment reflects concerns over governance, taxation, and ease of doing business. The government is considering lowering capital gains tax and introducing dollar-based taxation for foreign investors to boost market confidence. Experts highlight challenges such as limited AI-driven growth, high valuations, and a shortage of domestic investable assets. While retail participation has increased, foreign investors seek disproportionate returns amid global competition, influencing capital flows and market dynamics.
