The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on September 22, 2025, notified regarding the website for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs).
This Memorandum seeks to apprise the SEBI Board (“Board”) on the development of a website for current and prospective Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). This website is aimed at providing all the relevant information that may be useful for FPIs, across RBI, CBDT, SEBI regulations, to access and transact in the Indian markets at one place.
During recent roadshows with foreign investors, it was noted that Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) face difficulties in navigating through multiple regulations and compliance requirements issued by different authorities such as the RBI, SEBI, and CBDT. Currently, there is no single platform where such information is consolidated and presented in an accessible manner, which creates challenges for both prospective and existing FPIs.
To address this gap, a dedicated website ‘Indiamarketaccess.in’ has been jointly developed by the Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) – National Stock Exchange (NSE), Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Indian Clearing Corporation Limited (ICCL), NSE Clearing Limited (NCL), Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), and National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) – under the guidance of SEBI.
The website serves as a central repository of regulatory and compliance information, providing clear, structured, and user-friendly access to relevant guidelines, circulars, and updates. This initiative is aimed at improving the ease of doing business for FPIs, enhancing transparency, and facilitating smoother market access to strengthen India’s appeal as an investment destination.
A sitemap of the website is placed at Annexure A.
The website www.indiamarketaccess.in would be launched for public access after a demonstration of the same to the Board during the Board meeting.
