The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has launched the Single Window Automatic & Generalised Access for Trusted Foreign Investors (SWAGAT-FI) framework, aimed at easing the entry of low-risk foreign investors in India's securities market.

This initiative is designed to enhance compliance efficiency and boost India's appeal as an investment destination by providing a unified registration process and reducing the need for repeated documentation.

The framework specifically targets government-owned funds, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and other low-risk entities, aiming to simplify their investment routes in India. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey highlighted that this development is expected to encourage substantial foreign investment flow into the country.
