Bringing this business to India is beneficial in terms of economic activity and employment gains for India.
The launch of INR-USD contracts at the exchanges in GIFT-IFSC is a step in this direction. This will be available 22 hours across all time zones for all global participants from GIFT IFSC.
Given the world-class business environment and competitive tax regime at GIFT-IFSC, it is expected that trading of INR-USD contracts may bring volumes to India.
This would also bring larger global participation in India through IFSC and connect India's IFSC globally.
