Steps to boost foreign capital inflows likely in a week
30-May-2026

The Centre is expected to announce a slew of measures within a week to boost foreign capital inflows and stem outflows, in a move that will help support the rupee and make it easier to finance a widening current account deficit. While the exact details are still being worked out, sources said more than a dozen proposals are under discussion. These include a reduction in long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) on listed equities and government bonds, and a cut in the withholding tax on interest income earned by foreign investors on government securities. Both tax reliefs may be subject to specified time limits.
