Grant Thornton’s latest India Watch Index reveals that Indian companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) have continued to outperformed both the AIM All-Share index and the FTSE 100 index. The outstanding performance of Indian firms listed in London and London’s position as a leading financial centre looks to have encouraged other Indian firms to look into raising funds here.
