In a bid to boost Indian economy in the back drop of rupee depreciation, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) eased External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) and has enhanced foreign institutional investors (FIIs) investment caps in corporate bonds.
The Reserve bank has increased existing limit for investment in Government securities (G-Secs) by SEBI registered FIIs to $20 billion. It has allowed Indian companies in sectors of manufacturing, infrastructure and others having foreign exchange earnings to avail ECBs upto a limit of $10 billion.
The central bank has decided to allow long term investors like Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), multilateral agencies, endowment funds, insurance funds, pension funds and foreign central banks to be registered with SEBI, as to invest in G-Secs for the entire limit of $20 billion. The lock-in period and residual maturity for FII investment in infrastructure debt and the scheme for non-resident investment in Infrastructure Development Funds (IDFs) have been further rationalized.
Further, Qualified Foreign Investors (QFIs) has been allowed to invest in mutual fund (MF) schemes that hold at least 25% of their assets in infrastructure sector under the current $3 billion sub-limit for investment in mutual funds related to infrastructure.
