Sebi to set up FPI expert panel soon; single window to address concerns

Experts said the advisory committee will help smoothen the implementation of key policies

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) will soon set up an expert committee on foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to directly deal with concerns faced by them and facilitate capital flows into the country.

Sources said the markets regulator also planned to set up an advisory committee on fundraising through hybrid instruments — real estate and infrastructure investment trust (REITs and InvITs) — to give a fillip to the infrastructure financing in the country.

The move to set up the two new advisory committees is part of structural changes put in place by Sebi’s new chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch
