Alchemy India Long Term Fund, an offshore fund, has re-domiciled from Mauritius to the Gift City IFSC. Kotak Mahindra Bank acted as the custodian and issued the first-ever foreign portfolio investor (FPI) license to the fund incorporated in Gift City.

The government recently allowed India-sponsored funds and managers to relocate to Gift City. Industry players said more such funds could move to Gift City as the tax treatment is now at par with other global jurisdiction.
