Indian Alternative Investment Funds Request Status Quo on Foreign Control Rules
Indian alternative investment funds (AIFs) have urged regulators to maintain current definitions of 'foreign control' amid proposed changes in the draft FEMA Rules 2026. These rules aim to limit indirect foreign ownership in sensitive sectors, but AIFs warn that altering the criteria could reduce capital inflows and affect the growing local investment industry. The funds emphasized that existing regulations, which consider AIFs with Indian-owned sponsors and managers as domestic despite offshore investors, help preserve India's appeal to foreign investors.
