SEBI has introduced SWAGAT-FI, a specialised framework designed to attract low-risk foreign investors, including sovereign wealth funds and pension funds. This framework aims to provide a more stable and investor-friendly environment by extending the registration period from 3 years to 10 years, thereby ensuring long-term participation in Indian markets. To further ease operations, a dedicated digital portal has been established, significantly reducing onboarding time to just one week. Additionally, it streamlines access to GIFT-IFSC, India’s international financial hub, making the investment process more efficient and transparent. This initiative strengthens India’s financial ecosystem globally.
