What happened
The Securities and Exchange Board of India recommended that the government remove the long-term capital gains tax imposed on foreign investors to make Indian markets more attractive. SEBI also proposed exempting domestic mutual fund investors from long-term capital gains tax if they sell existing holdings to invest in new ones. These recommendations are not binding, and the final decision rests with the government.
Why it matters
The proposals follow persistent capital outflows, during which foreign investors sold a record $31 billion in Indian stocks this year. The measures are intended to reduce the upfront tax burden on foreign investors and improve sentiment, which could help stabilize portfolio flows and address capital-account strain.
Tax relief attracts foreign debt investment to India, while Federal Reserve rate hikes could renew pressure on the Indian currency.
