The Reserve Bank of India has announced the exclusion of government securities with 14-year and 30-year tenors from the Fully Accessible Route for foreign portfolio investors. This decision follows a review and consultation with the government.
Under the new guidelines, future issuances of G-Secs with these tenors will not be available for investment under FAR.
However, existing securities of these tenors, that are already classified as ‘specified securities' under FAR, will remain accessible to non-residents in the secondary market.
