  • DRs are called American Depository Receipts (ADRs) if they are listed on a stock exchange in the USA such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. If the DRs are listed on a stock exchange outside the US, they are called Global Depository Receipts (GDRs).
  • When DRs are issued in India and listed on stock exchanges in India with foreign stocks as underlying shares, these are called Indian Depository Receipts (IDRs).
  • Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCB) are issued by Indian companies and subscribed to by investors in foreign currency. They carry a fixed interest or coupon rate and are convertible into a certain number of ordinary shares at a preferred price.
