Aug 4 (Reuters) - India's markets regulator on Tuesday proposed allowing depository receipts to be issued against units of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs), in a move aimed at attracting more foreign capital to these sectors.
Here are more details:• The Securities and Exchange Board of India proposed aligning the rules for depository receipts issued against REITs and InvITs with those applicable to equity depository receipts.
• Depository receipts are foreign-currency-denominated instruments issued by a foreign institution against securities held with a domestic custodian, allowing investors to trade those securities in an overseas market.
• REITs and InvITs listed in India already accept foreign investment, subject to government and central bank rules.
• The proposed rules would give overseas investors an additional route to invest and trade REITs and InvITs units in foreign currency through depository receipts, SEBI said.
