Shares of INP are still trading on the secondary market, but no new shares are being created. Talks are currently taking place, and it’s hoped that at some point creation of new shares will take place when and if the restrictions are lifted.

Also, in the link above under India, you explained how India can do this as follows: "Easy: by limiting foreign investment in their publicly traded companies and putting caps on the numbers of shares that can be owned by foreigners, exchange traded products become illiquid and essentially useless." My question is: if this is the case, then why were two new Inidan ETFs still launched after this anyway? Shouldn't they be affected just as adversely as INP? Also, what's realistically going to happen to INP? Do you think it's going to be closed any time soon? - Bill You said above with regard to INP that “Indian securities regulators shut the door on all exchange traded products, effectively knocking out the fund.” Also, in the link above under India, you explained how India can do this as follows: “Easy: by limiting foreign investment in their publicly traded companies and putting caps on the numbers of shares that can be owned by foreigners, exchange traded products become illiquid and essentially useless.”
