Press Release Dated 07.08.2025

1. IFSCA’s Vision for GIFT-IFSC


The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) is actively working to position GIFT-IFSC as a leading global financial hub. Its strategic approach involves creating a transparent, well-defined, and investor-friendly regulatory framework for fund management. This vision aims to place GIFT-IFSC on par with other international financial centres by fostering a robust and competitive environment for financial activities.

2. Introduction of New Regulatory Reforms


As part of this initiative, the IFSCA has rolled out a series of reforms targeting different investment segments. These include specific rules for angel investments to encourage early-stage funding, regulations to facilitate sovereign wealth fund participation, and provisions for accredited investors. Each of these measures is designed to expand the scope of investment opportunities while ensuring investor protection.

3. Enabling NRI/OCI Participation and Third-Party Fund Management


In addition to broadening investment avenues, the new framework introduces mechanisms for contributions from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs). Furthermore, it allows for third-party fund management, giving fund managers more operational flexibility. These reforms aim to integrate the Indian diaspora more deeply into the country’s financial growth story and attract expertise from global fund managers.

4. Strengthening GIFT-IFSC’s Global Competitiveness


Collectively, these measures aim to simplify doing business within GIFT-IFSC, enhance investor confidence, and attract global capital inflows. By aligning with global best practices and providing clear guidelines, the IFSCA is setting the stage for GIFT-IFSC to emerge as a competitive, trusted, and well-regulated financial centre on the world stage.
