Sebi permits foreign investors to buy shares via primary markets

Markets regulator Sebi has allowed foreign investors to acquire shares through primary markets in depositories and clearing corporations. Prior to this, foreign investors could acquire shares of depositories and clearing corporations only through secondary market. The move comes at a time when Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) is preparing to launch its initial public offering. As per norms, total foreign holding in depositories and clearing corporations is capped at 49 per cent.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has now amended Stock Exchanges and Clearing Corporations regulations as well as Depositories and Participants norms, to drop a provision that required purchase of shares by foreign investors within 49 per cent limit only through secondary markets.
