FPI investment limits in government securities increased, with a security-wise cap restricting fresh purchases and new maturity requirements. Revised FPI caps in government debt are set in rupee terms with additional SDL capacity and a long term sub limit; incremental amounts will be made available by auction and on tap, while coupon reinvestment remains outside limits. A security wise cap on aggregate FPI holdings will place over limit securities in a negative investment category barring fresh purchases until holdings fall below the cap, with depositories publishing daily security wise holdings and the negative list. Long Term FPIs and reallocated long term capacity must invest only in central government securities and SDLs with a minimum residual maturity of three years.
