Summary

  • 44.9 billion rupees ($469 million) flowed into India’s index-eligible bonds on Friday, the biggest daily inflow since June 30, 2025.
  • Authorities had announced steps to encourage foreign buying of government debt and shore up the rupee, helping draw global funds back into the market.
  • The inflows targeted securities under the fully accessible route, the segment designed for overseas investors and eligible for inclusion in global bond indexes.
  • June 30, 2025 remains the last stronger comparison point, when India scrapped taxes on foreign investment in government securities and added new long-tenor bonds to that route.
