Motilal Oswal group secures custodian licence from
SEBI, completes institutional services value chain
Registration enables the group to offer custody services to portfolio investors, alternative
investment funds, portfolio managers and domestic institutional clients.
Mumbai, 23 Sep, 2026: Motilal Oswal Custodial Services Private Limited (MOCSPL), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited (MOFSL), has received approval
from the Securities and Exchange Board of India to act as a Custodian of Securities under the
SEBI (Custodian) Regulations, 1996.
This approval allows the company to offer safekeeping of securities, trade settlement,
corporate action processing, and regulatory reporting of institutional clients, including,
alternative investment funds, portfolio management services, mutual funds, insurance
companies and pension funds, amongst others.
Custody is among the most stringently regulated activities in the Indian securities market,
requiring substantial net worth, independent systems and audited operational controls. This
approval places MOCSPL among a small set of institutions authorised to hold and service
institutional assets in India.
The business extends the group's institutional franchise, which spans institutional equities,
wealth management, asset management, private wealth, investment banking, alternates and
home finance. Clients can now access execution, custody and post-trade servicing within a
single institutional relationship.
Mr Motilal Oswal, Group CEO & Co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial Services, stated,
“India's institutional asset pools are rapidly expanding, with alternative investment funds,
portfolio managers, and foreign investors all increasing their footprint in the markets. Custody
forms the backbone of this growth. Our entry into this sector is driven by a strong belief that
institutional capital needs a solid domestic market infrastructure that meets the highest global
standards. This is an infrastructure built on the operational discipline and regulatory rigor our
group has maintained for almost 40 years in the industry."
The company will prioritize deepening its service offerings. Institutional clients demand
precision, swift responsiveness, and transparency in daily operations. Operational
excellence will clearly distinguish the company as a leading competitor.
“We will build the business with technology at its core and with teams that understand the
specific requirements of alternative funds, offshore investors and domestic institutions alike,"
added Mr Oswal.
The company will commence operations in last quarter of 2026, subject to the completion of
operational readiness requirements.
