What Happened
SEBI has permitted Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to trade in physically settled non-agricultural commodity derivatives, while excluding them from taking actual physical delivery. Additionally, the capital market regulator has revised Portfolio Management Services (PMS) rules to allow portfolio managers to invest in foreign securities and manage overseas assets.
- FPIs are now allowed to participate in non-agricultural commodity derivatives.
- Participation is restricted to cash-settled or financially managed positions, preventing actual physical delivery of commodities.
- PMS providers can now manage overseas assets and invest in foreign securities.
Why It Matters
This move significantly deepens India's financial markets by integrating global liquidity into domestic commodity derivatives and expanding global diversification avenues for domestic investors.
