Addressing the conference, IFSCA Chairperson K. Rajaraman highlighted GIFT IFSC&#8217;s transformation from an initiative aimed at &#8220;onshoring the offshore&#8221; into India&#8217;s gateway to global capital. He emphasized that strong domestic demand, fiscal discipline, infrastructure investment, digital public infrastructure, and manufacturing growth continue to support India&#8217;s medium-term economic outlook and its vision of becoming a developed economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rajaraman underscored the growing importance of corporate treasury functions amid rising market volatility, liquidity pressures, foreign exchange risks, and cybersecurity challenges. He noted that IFSCA&#8217;s revised Treasury Centre Framework, introduced in 2025, offers enhanced operational flexibility, a foreign-currency-focused ecosystem, a light-touch regulatory approach, and significant tax advantages for treasury centres operating from GIFT IFSC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chairperson also highlighted recent tax reforms under the Finance Bill 2026, which extended the tax holiday period for IFSC units to 20 years out of a 25-year block and provided long-term tax certainty. IFSCA is additionally exploring broader foreign currency transaction permissions and the introduction of commodity trading activities within GIFT IFSC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conference featured discussions on treasury governance, cross-border payment innovations, treasury technology, cash concentration, treasury centralization, and operational optimization through IFSC structures. Industry experts shared insights on emerging technologies such as tokenized deposits, stablecoins, virtual accounts, AI-driven treasury management, advanced analytics, and real-time settlement systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key highlight was the participation of treasury leaders already operating in GIFT IFSC, who shared their experiences, operational benefits, and expansion plans. Discussions also focused on liquidity optimization, cash pooling, regulatory support, and the strategic advantages of establishing treasury centres within the IFSC ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event concluded with a presentation on the Foreign Currency Settlement System (FCSS), a real-time gross settlement mechanism within GIFT IFSC that enables near-instant settlement of USD obligations among banking units, reinforcing GIFT City&#8217;s ambition to become a globally competitive treasury and financial services hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>May 08, 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><b> GIFT City Strengthens Ambition to Become Global Aviation Leasing Hub as Industry Commits Over $10 Billion in Aircraft Assets<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India&#8217;s ambition to emerge as a global aircraft leasing and aviation financing hub received a significant boost at the second edition of the India Aircraft Leasing &amp; Financing Summit (IALFS 2.0), held at GIFT City, Gandhinagar. Organized jointly by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), and FICCI, the summit brought together policymakers, financiers, lessors and aviation industry leaders to accelerate the development of a domestic aircraft leasing ecosystem. With Indian airlines collectively placing some of the world&#8217;s largest aircraft orders and the country&#8217;s aircraft leasing market projected to approach <\/span><b>USD 100 billion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, stakeholders emphasized the need to build financing capabilities within India rather than relying predominantly on overseas leasing jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Addressing the summit, Union Civil Aviation Minister <\/span><b>Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said India is positioning itself not only as one of the fastest-growing aviation markets but also as an emerging global aviation financing and leasing jurisdiction. He highlighted recent reforms, including the implementation of the Cape Town Convention and the Protection of Interest in Aircraft Objects Act, 2025, which have strengthened investor confidence and improved access to competitive financing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gujarat Chief Minister <\/span><b>Bhupendrabhai Patel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reiterated the state&#8217;s commitment to strengthening GIFT City as a global financial and fintech hub, pointing to recent policy support such as the extension of tax benefits for aircraft leasing entities operating from the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IFSCA Chairman <\/span><b>K. Rajaraman<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> noted that GIFT IFSC already hosts a growing ecosystem of aircraft lessors and aviation financing structures covering aircraft, engines, helicopters and other aviation assets. He said the next phase of growth would focus on greater regulatory flexibility and wider institutional participation across the aviation finance value chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key highlight of the summit was a series of industry announcements that collectively underscore the growing momentum of aircraft leasing activities through GIFT City. Air India\u2019s leasing arm announced plans to increase aircraft leased through GIFT IFSC from 50 to more than 75 aircraft during FY27, representing additional assets worth approximately <\/span><b>USD 2.5\u20133 billion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. IndiGo said it expects its GIFT IFSC-based leased fleet to double to around 150 aircraft by March 2027, adding aircraft worth an estimated <\/span><b>USD 3.5\u20134 billion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional carrier Star Air announced the establishment of a leasing entity in GIFT IFSC and plans to lease additional regional aircraft from the centre, while Akasa Air unveiled its dedicated leasing platform at GIFT City to support the leasing of around 60 aircraft over the next five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The summit also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between IFSCA and FICCI to further develop GIFT IFSC as a global aviation finance centre. Discussions during the event focused on strengthening regulatory frameworks, expanding access to capital, enhancing dispute resolution mechanisms and attracting long-term domestic and international investment into aviation financing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With strong policy backing, increasing participation from airlines and financial institutions, and growing global interest, GIFT IFSC is steadily positioning itself as a credible alternative to established international aircraft leasing centres, supporting India&#8217;s broader vision of becoming a leading aviation powerhouse by 2047.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>May 11 ,2026: IFSCA Approves Draft Regulations for Managing General Agents in GIFT IFSC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has approved the draft IFSCA (Managing General Agents) Regulations, 2026, marking a significant step towards strengthening the insurance ecosystem within India&#8217;s International Financial Services Centres (IFSCs). The draft regulations were approved during the Authority&#8217;s 28th meeting held on April 17, 2026. The proposed framework seeks to establish a comprehensive regulatory regime governing the registration, operation and oversight of Managing General Agents (MGAs) operating in IFSCs. MGAs are entities that receive delegated authority from foreign insurers to underwrite direct insurance business and settle claims. The regulations aim to ensure transparency, accountability and policyholder protection while supporting the orderly growth of the insurance sector in the IFSC. Under the proposed framework, MGAs may be established in the IFSC either as incorporated entities or as branches. Incorporated MGAs will be required to register as companies under the Companies Act, 2013. Branch MGAs must meet specified eligibility conditions, including obtaining a valid registration and No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their home regulator. In addition, the applicant&#8217;s home jurisdiction must have a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with India and comply with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards. Foreign insurers partnering with MGAs through binding authority agreements will also need to satisfy prescribed requirements, including maintaining a minimum net worth of USD 100 million, holding a minimum credit rating of &#8216;A&#8217;, and possessing valid regulatory approval from their home jurisdiction. The regulations permit registered MGAs to undertake direct insurance business from within the IFSC and outside India. Business sourced from Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) India will remain subject to the provisions of Section 2CB of the Insurance Act, 1938. All transactions will be conducted only in specified foreign currencies. To ensure financial stability, the draft regulations prescribe a minimum capital requirement of USD 500,000 to be maintained in an IFSC Banking Unit (IBU). Investments in MGAs must be made from unencumbered own funds. Net worth requirements have been set at USD 250,000 or 50% of the minimum capital requirement, whichever is higher. Branch MGAs, however, will be permitted to maintain the required net worth at the parent entity level. The proposed regulations also introduce several governance and operational safeguards, including mandatory Binding Authority Agreements between foreign insurers and MGAs, insurer-wise fiduciary accounts, premium segregation norms, independent annual audits and on-site reviews by insurers, financial security and deposit requirements, professional indemnity insurance coverage, board-approved policies governing product comparison and distribution, and a prescribed code of conduct. The move is expected to enhance the attractiveness of GIFT IFSC as a global insurance hub by enabling innovative distribution models while maintaining robust regulatory oversight and international best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>May 12, 2026: IFSCA Issues Master Circular for Broker Dealers and Clearing Members in GIFT IFSC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) has issued the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Master Circular for Broker Dealers and Clearing Members<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Circular No. IFSCA\/CMD\/MIIT\/MCBDCM\/2026), bringing together the regulatory framework governing these intermediaries into a single comprehensive document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The move is aimed at simplifying compliance and providing greater regulatory clarity for Broker Dealers and Clearing Members operating in GIFT International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). The Master Circular consolidates multiple circulars issued by IFSCA over the past five years relating to registration, supervision, governance, conduct and operational requirements. With the issuance of the circular, all applicable Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) circulars issued prior to October 1, 2020, in respect of Broker Dealers and Clearing Members registered with IFSCA stand superseded. The consolidated framework will serve as a single reference point for market intermediaries operating within the IFSC ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Master Circular has been structured across eleven chapters and covers the entire lifecycle of a Broker Dealer or Clearing Member, ranging from registration and eligibility requirements to ongoing supervision, technology governance, compliance obligations and surrender of registration. Among the key features of the circular is the introduction of a streamlined registration process through the Single Window IT System (SWITS), designed to improve ease of doing business and accelerate regulatory approvals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The framework also strengthens governance standards and adopts a risk-based supervisory approach, enabling more effective oversight of regulated entities based on their scale, complexity and risk profile. Recognising the growing importance of technology in financial markets, the circular introduces a tiered system audit framework and detailed requirements relating to technical glitches, software resilience and vendor risk management. These measures are intended to enhance operational robustness and safeguard market integrity. The Master Circular further places significant emphasis on investor protection through client asset safeguarding requirements, while also mandating comprehensive business continuity and disaster recovery mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted market operations during disruptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the framework formalises market access through authorised persons and prescribes detailed periodic reporting and compliance audit requirements to strengthen transparency and regulatory monitoring. The consolidation of regulatory requirements into a single master circular is expected to reduce compliance complexity, improve regulatory certainty and support the continued development of GIFT IFSC as a globally competitive international financial centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>May 16, 2026: Commerce Secretary Reviews GIFT IFSC\u2019s Growing Role in Global Trade Finance and Capital Flows<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shri Rajesh Agrawal, Secretary, Department of Commerce, Government of India, visited the headquarters of the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) at GIFT City and held high-level discussions with IFSCA Chairperson Shri K. Rajaraman and senior officials on strengthening India&#8217;s international trade and financial ecosystem. The meeting focused on enhancing the role of GIFT International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in facilitating global capital flows, international trade financing, and building a robust cross-border financial services ecosystem. The discussions underscored the strategic importance of GIFT IFSC in improving ease of doing business and supporting India\u2019s growing engagement with global markets. During the interaction, Shri K. Rajaraman highlighted the rapid evolution of GIFT IFSC into a globally competitive international financial and business hub. He noted that the centre has emerged as a key gateway for global capital, while also becoming a significant hub for aircraft and ship leasing, trade finance, insurance, and reinsurance activities. Rajaraman emphasized that IFSCA\u2019s unified regulatory framework\u2014comprising over 35 regulations and 17 policy frameworks\u2014has helped attract more than 1,000 registered entities to the ecosystem. Managing Director of GIFT City Company Limited, Shri Sanjay Kaul, presented plans aimed at further upgrading urban infrastructure, improving social amenities, and enhancing the overall quality of life within the city. IFSCA officials also presented an overview of the expanding GIFT IFSC ecosystem, highlighting growth across banking, capital markets, insurance, fund management, fintech, aircraft leasing, and ship leasing sectors. Discussions with officials from the Department of Commerce and the India International Bullion Exchange covered policy initiatives related to Special Economic Zone (SEZ) framework enhancements, development of the leasing ecosystem, and opportunities in the metals and commodities segment. The scale of activity at GIFT IFSC was reflected in its trade finance performance during FY26. International Banking Units operating within GIFT IFSC facilitated nearly USD 50 billion in trade finance transactions, while International Trade Finance Services (ITFS) platforms and factoring companies supported small and medium enterprises through bill factoring worth USD 111 million. A stakeholder consultation meeting was also organised during the visit, bringing together representatives from banks, bullion market participants, leasing firms, fund management entities, ITFS platforms, factoring companies, the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), and other trade finance institutions. Participants discussed industry challenges, operational issues, and policy measures required to further strengthen the business environment within GIFT IFSC. The visit reaffirmed GIFT IFSC\u2019s growing significance as a gateway for international capital and trade flows and highlighted its increasing contribution to enhancing India\u2019s competitiveness in global financial services. The deliberations reflected a shared commitment between policymakers and industry stakeholders to deepen policy coordination and accelerate the development of a globally integrated financial ecosystem aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>May 19, 2026:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>NPCI\u2019s e-KYC Setu Platform Access Extended to Regulated Entities in GIFT IFSC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a significant move aimed at strengthening digital onboarding and compliance processes within GIFT International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), access to the National Payments Corporation of India\u2019s (NPCI) e-KYC Setu platform has been enabled for all regulated entities operating in the financial hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The e-KYC Setu system, developed by NPCI, provides a secure and seamless Aadhaar-based digital identity verification mechanism, allowing regulated entities to onboard clients through a single-window interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the integration of the platform, regulated entities in GIFT IFSC can now digitally verify customers\u2019 Aadhaar information in a secure and efficient manner. The facility is expected to significantly streamline client onboarding procedures, reduce operational friction, and enhance compliance standards across financial institutions operating in the IFSC ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform also addresses data privacy concerns by eliminating the need for regulated entities to physically store or process sensitive Aadhaar-related information, including Aadhaar card numbers. This strengthens data protection measures while ensuring faster and more reliable customer verification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The move is expected to further bolster GIFT IFSC\u2019s position as a globally competitive financial centre by facilitating technology-driven, secure, and efficient onboarding processes for domestic and international clients<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) hosted the two-day IFSCA Corporate Treasury Conference 2026 at GIFT City, bringing together more than 250 treasury professionals, bankers, fintech leaders, and corporate executives from India and overseas to discuss the future of global treasury operations.
