RBI allows foreign investors in IFSC to invest in Sovereign Green Bonds, expanding participation in sustainable investments.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to facilitate wider non-resident participation in the Sovereign Green Bonds by permitting eligible foreign investors in the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) to invest in such bonds.
“A scheme for investment and trading in SGrBs by eligible foreign investors in IFSC is being notified separately in consultation with the Government and the IFSC Authority,” Governor Shaktikanta Das announced as additional measures soon after the bi-monthly monetary policy committee meeting on April 5, 2024.

At present, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) registered with SEBI are permitted to invest in SGrBs under the different routes available for investment by FPIs in government securities.
