SEBI Proposes Easier Norms For Resident Indian Participation In FPIs

New Delhi: The Securities Exchange Board of India has proposed easier norms for resident Indians and mutual funds to invest in foreign funds. The regulator proposed to enable retail schemes based in IFSCs in India with resident Indian non-individuals as sponsors or managers to register as FPIs. The investment limit is capped at 10 per cent of the targeted corpus, in line with IFSC rules, a release from SEBI said. The suggestion is to replace the sponsor and manager with a fund management entity or associate for IFSC FPIs. SEBI has also proposed allowing Indian mutual funds to invest in overseas funds with India exposure. These proposals aim to increase investment options for Indian investors to diversify their portfolios. If implemented, these reforms could bridge the gap between India's domestic savings pool and international opportunities. Currently, only certain institutional investors meeting SEBI's criteria can register as FPIs to invest in foreign securities. The proposed changes focus on retail-oriented investment schemes set up in IFS, which would allow a broader range of India-based entities to channel domestic capital into foreign assets through a regulated framework. At present, non-resident Indians (NRI), overseas citizens of India (OCI) or resident Indians are not eligible to register as FPIs. However, NRIs, OCIs or resident Indian individuals are permitted to be constituents of FPIs, subject to certain conditions in terms of limits on contribution and control of the FPIs. The Reserve Bank of India's liberalised remittance scheme permits individuals to remit up to Rs 2.5 lakh annually for overseas investments. Retail investors depend on indirect channels and FoF opportunities in global mutual funds for foreign market exposure. IFSC is a special economic zone (SEZ) acting as a global financial hub within India, allowing institutions to conduct international financial transactions and operations. The capital market regulator has sought public feedback on its proposals till August 29.

Industry body ISMA backs ethanol-blending programme, dismisses misinformation

The Indian Sugar and Bio-Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) has strongly defended the country's ethanol-blending programme amid 'misleading' claims from some quarters about its impact on vehicle engines. In a statement, ISMA said the E20 fuel blend, 20 per cent ethanol mixed with petrol, has undergone rigorous testing by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and has been certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) as fully compatible with Indian vehicles. Automobile manufacturers are already producing E20-compliant models, the association noted. Referring to Brazil's decades-long use of ethanol blends from E20 to E100 without major issues, ISMA highlighted that the South American nation currently blends over 27 per cent ethanol in petrol and is targeting 30 per cent by 2030. "Ethanol-blended fuel is not just a technological choice--it is a national imperative. Backed by rigorous scientific validation and decades of global experience, it delivers clear benefits for our farmers, our economy, and our environment," ISMA Director General Deepak Ballsaid in the statement. From an economic perspective, the ethanol blending programme has become a "game changer" for over five crore sugarcane farmers , with more than Rs 1.18 lakh crore transferred to them. ISMA argued that the blending of ethanol with petrol improved the financial health of sugar mills, ensured timely payments to farmers, and helped manage excess sugar inventories, ultimately stabilising sugarcane prices and protecting farmer incomes. The E20 target is also expected to save Rs 35,000-40,000 crore in foreign exchange annually by reducing crude oil imports, which account for over 85 per cent of India's consumption. "The recent negative campaign on social media against ethanol-blended fuels is not only misleading but also detrimental to a nationally important programme," the ISMA statement noted. Earlier this week, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas had also dismissed recent claims circulating on social media that E20 petrol causes a drastic drop in fuel efficiency , besides impacting the engines. The ministry clarified that while ethanol has a lower energy density than petrol, the impact on fuel efficiency is only marginal. In 2014, the ethanol blending was just 1.53 per cent. By 2022, India achieved 10 per cent blending, five months ahead of schedule. The original target of 20 per cent blending (E20) by 2030 was advanced to 2025 and has already been achieved in the current Ethanol Supply Year.

Pakistan hits JACKPOT due to Trump's tariff, set to become rich, Indian farmers may suffer due to..., may decide to switch to...

New Delhi: The decision of US President Donald Trump to impose a tariff of 50% on exports from India, especially on Indian Basmati rice, is going to affect not only the economies of both countries but also have an impact on the global economy. Indian traders, especially Basmati farmers and exporters of Punjab and Haryana, are very much worried and uncertain, hoping that the government will help them come out of this mess. Moreover, this decision has been taken at a time when prices are already falling, and uncertainty has increased in the market. When did the USA impose the tariff on India? America imposed the tariff on August 7 after Trump's executive order, in which an additional penalty of 25% was added on India's purchase of oil from Russia and with the already applicable 25% reciprocal tariff, the total tariff became 50%. This 50% tariff will be applicable from August 28. Why is it an advantage for Pakistan? The imposition of a 50% tariff on India will work in Pakistan's favour, as it has given Pakistan a big lead over India in the American market. This is because only a 19% tariff has been imposed on Pakistan. These two different tariff rates, i.e., 19% and 50% will give Pakistan a huge margin of 31% in Basmati exports as Indian Basmati rice will cost 31% more to the American customers. What do Indian traders say? 'Pakistani traders have already started taking orders from America, but Indian traders are not even able to negotiate due to the price difference,' said Vice-President of Basmati Exporters Association Ranjit Singh Josan as quoted by a report in the Hindustan Times. Josan added that this is causing a loss to India and benefiting Pakistan. What is the biggest fear of Indian farmers? The tariff has been imposed at a time when the prices of famous varieties like 1121 and 1509 have already fallen from Rs 4,500 per quintal to Rs 3,500-Rs 3,600. Now there is a fear that the prices may reach Rs 3,000. In such a situation, the tariff is a double blow. 'If this situation continues, farmers will leave Basmati and go back to ordinary rice,' said Gurbakshish Singh, a farmer from Tarn Taran in Punjab, as reported by news18. Price difference between Indian and Pakistani Basmati rice in the USA? One ton of Basmati rice bought in the USA for $1,200 will cost an additional $600 if imported from India, while importing it from Pakistan will cost only $228 extra.
