India has allowed its firms to list on exchanges registered in a new financial hub in the western state of Gujarat, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Friday, to give companies access to easier and cheaper foreign capital.

Listed and unlisted companies can list their shares in the International Financial Services Centre housed in the Gujarat International Financial Tech City , which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship project.
