India announced on Sunday that it would open up its stock market to individual foreign investors for the first time, in a major economic reform designed to boost overseas investment.

The government in New Delhi said in a statement that it had taken the move "in order to widen the class of investors, attract more foreign funds and reduce market volatility and to deepen the Indian capital market."
