India INX Global Access to Launch Tax-Efficient European Funds
India INX Global Access is a platform in GIFT City that helps Indians invest in overseas markets.
It currently offers access mainly to US stocks.
The platform plans to add European investment funds called UCITS.
These funds may make investing abroad more tax-efficient for Indian residents.
They can reduce some dividend taxes and remove US estate-tax exposure in the circumstances described by the company.
The new products are expected to become available by November 2026.
Investors may start with about $100 per unit, although fractional units will not be offered.
The platform has grown quickly as more Indian investors use GIFT City to invest globally.
India INX Global Access plans to launch European UCITS ETFs and mutual funds by November 2026.
The products are expected to provide access to funds listed on the London Stock Exchange, Euronext, and Deutsche Börse Xetra.
Ireland-domiciled UCITS funds may reduce dividend withholding tax and avoid US estate-tax exposure compared with direct US holdings.
INX GA has recorded more than $40 billion in cumulative trading volume since opening to resident Indian retail investors in 2022.
More than 150 Indian brokers are linked to the platform, which currently records monthly trading activity of $500 million to $1 billion.
