Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI)

FPIs are investments by non-residents in Indian securities like shares and bonds without significant control. FEMA classifies and regulates FPI separately from FDI. FPIs require registration with SEBI and must follow RBI’s sectoral caps and limits. This ensures stable, legal capital inflows while safeguarding India’s financial markets against volatility and money laundering.
