The recently notified International Financial Services Centres Authority (Managing General Agents) Regulations, 2026, has introduced a dedicated regulatory framework for Managing General Agents (MGAs) to operate from the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) at GIFT City, India.

The notification of the MGA Regulations marks a milestone in the development of the IFSC insurance ecosystem, establishing a comprehensive standalone framework for MGAs in India. The framework provides clarity on eligibility, capital requirements, operational boundaries and governance standards, which may encourage both domestic and foreign participants to explore the MGA route in GIFT City.
