The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is gearing up for a crucial board meeting where significant regulatory reforms are expected to be on the table. This meeting, the second under Tuhin Kanta Pandey's leadership, aims to refine frameworks for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and improve investment avenues.
Among the top agenda items is the simplification of rules for FPIs investing in Indian Government Bonds through the Voluntary Retention Route (VRR) and the Fully Accessible Route (FAR). The proposed changes, which include a new FPI category solely focused on government bonds, aim to attract more long-term investors.
Additionally, the board will consider changes to the Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) document requirements and explore greater co-investment flexibility in Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), signaling a broader reform initiative across sectors.
