India's Government Securities Index Inclusion Delayed Amid Market Reforms
India's government securities market faces a delay in inclusion in Bloomberg's Global Aggregate Index despite recent reforms aimed at increasing foreign investment. The government and Reserve Bank of India have liberalized bond maturities, extended tax exemptions, and expanded the Fully Accessible Route to attract foreign portfolio investors. Bloomberg cited the need for more time to assess the embedding of these reforms in market practices. Increased foreign currency deposits have also contributed to easing pressure on the rupee and borrowing costs.
