India's Retail Investors Increase Overseas Investments Amid Weak Domestic Returns
Indian retail investors are increasingly investing overseas due to weak domestic stock market returns and a growing interest in AI-related assets. Top money managers have launched multiple international funds in tax-neutral hubs like GIFT City to meet this demand. Overseas investments by individuals more than doubled to nearly $2.3 billion in the first half of 2026, nearing the Reserve Bank of India's investment limits. Policymakers face challenges as investors diversify abroad despite efforts to boost domestic equity participation.
