Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs has updated the Companies (Listing of Equity Instruments in Permissible Jurisdictions) Amendment Rules, 2026. These changes expand the scope of the overseas listing framework by replacing the term “equity shares” with “equity instruments,” a definition that now encompasses equity shares, convertible debentures, and preference shares. The new regulations allow unlisted public companies and companies with a negative net worth to pursue overseas listings, provided they commit to allocating at least 75% of the net offer to Qualified Institutional Buyers. The framework also now expressly covers unlisted public companies located in International Financial Services Centres (IFSC) jurisdictions. This regulatory shift occurs amid a significant increase in Indian retail investors seeking international market exposure. International investments by Indian individuals more than doubled year-on-year to nearly $2.3 billion in the first half of 2026, driven by demand for global assets such as AI-related technologies. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-06: India eases overseas listing norms as investors seek global assets India has eased rules for overseas listings in GIFT City as retail investors double their international holdings to nearly $2.3 billion, seeking better returns through global funds. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/india-eases-overseas-listing-norms-as-investors-seek-global-assets ### 2026-11-05: India Ministry of Corporate Affairs updates overseas listing rules India's Ministry of Corporate Affairs has amended overseas listing rules to include convertible debentures and preference shares, while allowing companies with negative net worth to list under specific investor 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/india-ministry-of-corporate-affairs-updates-overseas-listing-rules --- Cite as: India overseas listing regulatory amendments.
