Foreign institutional investment (FII) limit in corporate debt now stands at a combined $45 billion, of which $25 billion must be invested in infrastructure bonds.
The increase will see FII ceiling for government bonds rise to $15 billion.
The capital markets regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), is expected to notify the decisions in the next few days, the official added.
