Indians Increase Overseas Equity and Debt Investments via Liberalized Remittance Scheme
Indians increased overseas investments in equity and debt through the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS), reaching a record 457 million in June and 1.94 billion in the first half of 2026. This rise reflects growing interest in global diversification, particularly in sectors like artificial intelligence and semiconductors, amid subdued domestic equity returns. Easier access via India's GIFT City and reduced minimum investments by asset managers have facilitated this trend, with overseas mutual fund assets also expanding.
