Why NRIs Should Invest in India’s Growth Story through PMS and AIFs
India continues to be one of the most attractive investment destinations globally. According to the IMF’s latest projections, India is expected to grow at 6.8% in 2025, retaining its position as the fastest-growing major economy. This robust growth is supported by strong domestic demand, policy reforms, and a demographic dividend that favors long-term wealth creation.
For NRIs looking to invest in India, this presents a compelling opportunity to participate in a high-growth market through professionally managed options like Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). These investment avenues are ideal for NRIs seeking long-term capital appreciation, diversified exposure, and access to top fund managers across equity, credit, and private markets.
India’s strategic initiatives such as Digital India, Make in India, and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes are accelerating innovation and enterprise growth—creating fertile ground for alternative investments to outperform traditional vehicles.
Adding to India’s attractiveness is the rise of GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City)—India’s first operational International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). GIFT City is revolutionizing the way NRIs invest by offering a globally compliant, tax-efficient, and fully repatriable platform to invest in Indian and international opportunities. Several leading PMS and AIF managers have already set up operations within GIFT City, allowing NRIs to invest without facing FEMA restrictions and benefit from zero capital gains tax on certain instruments.
