RBI Eases Rules for Foreign Investors in Corporate Debt

The Reserve Bank of India has relaxed the criteria for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) investing in corporate debt securities by removing certain requirements, thereby simplifying investment processes.

The Reserve Bank of India announced new measures on Thursday to simplify investment procedures for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) engaging in corporate debt securities.

Previously, FPIs faced restrictions such as the short-term investment and concentration limits under the general route. In an encouraging move, the RBI has decided to eliminate these requirements.

This change aims to facilitate a more straightforward investment experience for FPIs, allowing greater flexibility and ease of access to the Indian corporate debt market.
