India's markets regulator is preparing sweeping rule changes to stem $50B in foreign capital flight and boost its weighting in global stock indexes. The overhaul targets collateral requirements and derivatives rules as foreign ownership of equities hits a 17-year low. The reforms aim to align domestic structures with major regional markets, potentially drawing large institutional inflows over the next nine months.
