Best Stock Market Strategies - GIFT City Targets NRI Investors as Regulator Highlights Market Growth and New Opportunities

The GIFT City regulator is looking at tapping the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) segment, which presents a big opportunity for India's growth story, said K Rajaraman, chairman of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA).

To give a perspective of how big the segment is, Rajaraman said that there is a growing retail segment of 4,000 NRIs who have almost $800 billion in savings accounts. Rajaraman was speaking at the CII Financing 3.0 Summit in Mumbai.

In April, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) allowed funds set up in GIFT City to take 100 percent investment from NRIs, which was not the case earlier.

Rajaraman also said that the NSE IX Nifty 50 has a higher market value than the NSE Nifty 50 index, adding that the NSE IX Nifty 50's turnover in August crossed over $100 billion.

He also mentioned that GIFT City has a very active bond market. Out of the total outstanding bond issuances of $50 billion, $14 billion are green and sustainable bonds.
