SEBI Raises AUM Threshold for FPI Ownership Disclosures to ₹500 Billion

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has increased the assets under management (AUM) threshold for granular ownership disclosures by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to ₹500 billion, doubling the previous limit of ₹250 billion. This move aims to reduce compliance burdens for smaller FPIs while maintaining oversight on large investors with significant market influence. The decision aligns with India's growing market turnover, which surged by 122% between FY23 and FY25. SEBI’s revised framework is expected to encourage greater foreign investment participation while ensuring transparency in ownership structures.
