Finance Minister Says India Needs Equity Capital Amid Tax Relief Talks
India's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman emphasized the need for equity capital in the country while addressing calls for tax relief. SEBI has proposed removing the 12.5% long-term capital gains tax for foreign investors and is seeking mutual fund relief. Shares of Angel One, CDSL, and Motilal Oswal rose up to 7% following these developments. The government is open to reviewing equity tax policies ahead of the 2027 budget.
