India Looks For Inclusion In Global Bond Indices

The Indian government is working with JPMorgan chase to potentially include its bonds in the firm's global indices, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg News

India is aiming for a 7% weightage in the indices tracked by global investors, the sources said, adding that details have not yet been finalised and are subject to change.

Opening up of the sovereign bond market to overseas investors has so far attracted inflows worth $2.4 billion.

A previous attempt at inclusion in JPMorgan's indices had fizzled out in 2013 when Indian officials resisted removal of cap on foreign ownership.

Representatives of JPMorgan and the Finance Ministry were unavailable for comments.
