India's foreign listings went cold after '18

Debt issuances and convertibles keep flowing as equity stalls
Indian entities haven't raised capital through foreign equity listings in over six years — the longest gap since liberalization.
The last such overseas equity fund-raise was in 2018, according to data from Prime Database. Listings abroad occurred nearly every year from 1992 through 2016, with 2017 being a rare exception. After one final issue in 2018, there have been no subsequent listings.
This lull comes as some Indian companies explore listings at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), Gandhinagar, pitched as an alternative to offshore hubs like Singapore.
The government in 2024 cleared the path for direct listings of Indian companies on foreign exchanges. The India International Exchange (India INX) and NSE International Exchange (NSE IX) at GIFT City are the designated platforms.

The Opposition was listless and almost disinterested
Although the benches in the Lok Sabha were dotted with red — ranging from the lightweight magenta Kanjivaram sari embellished with yellow checks that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman chose for Budget day, to the brilliant red of the caps worn by Samajwadi Party MPs and the vermilion saris and shawls on both sides of the House — the mood of the House was grey, almost as grey as the sky outside.
