Foreign investors investing in Indian companies through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs). Depository receipts, whether ADRs or GDRs, are actually negotiable instruments denominated in U.S. dollars or another currency representing a publicly-traded issuer’s local currency equity shares. The local currency shares of an Indian company are created, for instance, are delivered to a depository bank’s domestic custodian bank, against which the depository issues a depository receipt in U.S. dollars or another currency. Each and every depository receipt can represent one or more of the underlying shares. Indian companies familiar with the issuance of these instruments, and have tapped the ADR/GDR market frequently to raise foreign capital. Since ADRs/GDRs represent the underlying shares of the issuing company, their value fluctuates along with the value of the underlying shares.

Depository receipts (DRs) are financial instruments that representing shares of a local company are listed and traded on a stock exchange outside the country also.. DRs are issued in foreign currency, usually dollars. Issuing a DR, a specific quantity of underlying equity shares of a company are lodged with a custodian bank, which also authorizes the issue of depository receipts against the shares. Depending on the country issue and conditions of issue, the DRs can be converted into equity shares. DRs are called American Depository Receipts (ADRs) if they are listed on a stock exchange in the USA such as the New York stock exchange. If the DRs are listed on a stock exchange outside the US are called Global Depository Receipts (GDRs). The listing requirements of stock exchanges can be different in terms of size of the company, state of its finances, shareholding pattern and disclosure requirements. DRs are issued in India and listed on stock exchanges here with foreign stocks as underlying shares, these are also called Indian Depository Receipts (IDRs) The shares of a company that form the basis of an ADR/GDR/IDR issue may be existing shares i.e. shares that have already been issued by the company. The companies also issue fresh shares which form the underlying for the DR issue.

Investors in international markets get to invest in shares of company that they may otherwise have been unable to do because of restrictions on foreign investor holdings. Investors get to invest in international stocks on domestic exchanges. As such Holding DRs gives investors the right to dividends and capital appreciation from the underlying shares, but not voting rights.
