With one American depositary receipt representing half of a local share, the $56 1/8 price of each ADR implies a 55 percent premium over the local shares as of yesterday's close. The gap makes it attractive for global investors to buy Infosys shares from Indian stock exchanges and sell them on the Nasdaq, analysts said.

Mohan, that is great action if we can get in on it. Any idea of NRIs can do this? That is, buy in Bombay and sell in New York as an ADR? There has to be an underlying transaction that links an ADR to the original stock, just as commodity futures are related to the actual commodity by delivery rules.

I remember posting here a month or so back a headline that NRIs are now allowed to redeem ADRs as Indian shares. I tried to find details on that, but couldn't. The transaction we are discussing here is the reverse. Redeeming Indian shares as ADRs.
