SEBI Considers Relaxing Offshore Fund Disclosure Rules to Attract Foreign Investment
India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) is considering easing disclosure rules for offshore funds classified as high risk, following complaints and legal challenges related to 2023 regulations aimed at limiting concentrated investments in Indian companies. Proposed changes include extending timelines for investor disclosures, raising reporting thresholds, and expanding exemptions to facilitate long-term foreign investment. This review responds to appeals from investor groups and comes amid record foreign portfolio investor sell-offs in 2026. SEBI has not officially commented on the proposals.
