The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has said foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) should report their investment in hybrid securities separately and has asked the depositories to make necessary arrangements for this.
 
Currently, the daily FPI net investment data and the FPI Assets Under Custody (AUC) data are disseminated by the depositories (NSDL and CDSL) for equity and debt markets.

At present, FPI investments are classified as either debt or equity depending on the type of the security in which the FPIs transact.
While FPIs are permitted to invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs)
