<h1>India Boosts Foreign Investment: Raises Foreign Limit in Infrastructure Bonds to $25B, Eases Restrictions & Cuts Withholding Tax.</h1> To attract long-term foreign capital and diversify the non-resident investor base in Indian debt securities, preferential treatment is being given to Sovereign Wealth Funds and pension funds. The government has increased the foreign investment limit in long-term corporate bonds for infrastructure from USD 5 billion to USD 25 billion, eased restrictions on these bonds, and rationalized debt limit allocation for Foreign Institutional Investors. Infrastructure Debt Funds have been established, with a reduced withholding tax of 5% on interest payments to attract offshore funds. These measures aim to boost foreign investment in India's infrastructure sector.
