About GIFT NIFTY

Trading on the Nifty index, previously facilitated for foreign investors as SGX NIFTY in Singapore, has now fully transitioned to India with the launch of GIFT NIFTY at NSE IX (also known as NSE IFSC Exchange). Launched on July 3, 2023, on the NSE IX, this IFSCA-regulated product enables international investors, including NRIs and EFIs, to gain seamless and efficient exposure to India's equity markets. This strategic move strengthens domestic financial infrastructure, centralizes oversight, and significantly supports India’s ambition to establish a strong global presence via GIFT City.
