How to invest in Armstrong World Industries from India

  1. Step 1

    Open your Paasa account

  2. Step 2

    Add funds from your Indian bank account

    Remit up to $250,000 a year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Your bank converts the rupees to US dollars at its rate on the day you remit.

  3. Step 3

    Search AWI and buy

    Find Armstrong World Industries by name or by its ticker, AWI, and place your order. Fractional shares are available and there is no minimum trade size, so you can buy by amount instead of whole shares.

Why invest in Armstrong World Industries from India

What Armstrong World Industries does

Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (AWI) specializes in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of diverse ceiling systems, primarily catering to the construction and renovation needs of residential and commercial properties across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. The company operates through two main divisions: Mineral Fiber and Architectural Specialties. Armstrong World Industries operates in the Construction Materials industry within the Basic Materials sector.

Hold a dollar asset

Armstrong World Industries shares are priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what they're worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Buy a fraction of a share

Buy by amount, not by share, and get the matching fraction of one Armstrong World Industries share. There is no minimum trade size.

Paasa handles the paperwork

Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.

Planning to hold more than $60,000 in US stocks? Here's what US estate tax means for you.

US-listed shares held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family.

There are two ways to plan for it: keep the right estate documentation in place, or get your basic materials exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Armstrong World Industries stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Armstrong World Industries (AWI) shares directly through Paasa. Armstrong World Industries is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the Construction Materials industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Do I need to buy a full Armstrong World Industries share?

No. You can buy part of one Armstrong World Industries share and add to your position over time. A whole share is $162.81, but there is no minimum trade size, so you choose the amount.

How are Armstrong World Industries dividends taxed for Indian investors?

The US withholds 25% tax on dividends before they reach you; Paasa files Form W-8BEN for you, and the tax withheld can generally be claimed as a credit when you file in India. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Armstrong World Industries’ current yield is 0.83%. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment, which is what you need when you file.

What tax do I pay in India when I sell Armstrong World Industries shares?

The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the USD/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.

What happens to my Armstrong World Industries shares if I pass away?

US-listed shares held in your own name fall under US estate tax rules. If your US holdings cross $60,000, the amount above that can be taxed at up to 40% when the account passes to your family. There are two ways to plan for it: keep the right estate documentation in place, or get your basic materials exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
