The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has launched a dedicated Foreign Portfolio Investor Outreach Cell as part of the Alternative Investment Fund and Foreign Portfolio Investors Department (AFD). This cell will focus on direct engagement with Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and assist them in seamlessly accessing the Indian securities
market.
The FPI Outreach Cell will provide guidance to prospective FPIs during the pre-application stage, including help with documentation and compliance processes. It will also support FPIs during the onboarding phase and address any operational challenges that may arise during the registration process or afterwards.
