NSDL simplifies market entry for foreign investors

Mumbai: The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) on Monday announced the successful revamp of its Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) Portal and the launch of the Foreign Venture Capital Investor (FVCI) Portal. The revamped platform unifies FPI and FVCI registration and operations on a single interface, removing multiple logins and manual steps.

It is a unified digital platform designed to simplify, accelerate, and enhance the registration and compliance experience for global investors in India’s securities markets. “Progress is embodied by the launch of the revamped FPI and FVCI portals. This is not just an upgrade; it’s a powerful commitment from NSDL to empower participants with world-class digital infrastructure,” said Vijay Chandok, MD and CEO, NSDL.

The unified platform offers ease of registration (guided workflows, validations, and tooltips simplify and streamline the process); traceability (application tracking and audit trails ensure full transparency); unified interface for FPI and FVCI registrations reduces duplication and speeds onboarding; PAN request automation; and technology-driven design.
