How to invest in Danaos from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account
KYC takes a few minutes: PAN, Aadhaar and address proof. Your brokerage account is opened in your own name with Interactive Brokers.
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.
Step 3
Search DAC and buy
Find Danaos by name or by its ticker, DAC, 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 Danaos from India
What Danaos does
Danaos Corporation, operating through its subsidiaries, specializes in the ownership and management of containerships across key global markets including Australia, Asia, Europe, and the United States. The company's core business involves providing essential seaborne transportation by chartering its vessels to various international liner companies. Danaos operates in the Marine Shipping industry within the Industrials sector.
Hold a dollar asset
Danaos 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 Danaos 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Danaos stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Danaos (DAC) shares directly through Paasa. Danaos is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the Marine Shipping 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 Danaos share?
No. You can buy part of one Danaos share and add to your position over time. A whole share is $153.28, but there is no minimum trade size, so you choose the amount.
How are Danaos dividends taxed for Indian investors?
Danaos trades on the New York Stock Exchange but is domiciled in Greece, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of the US. Some non-US companies list in the US through American Depositary Receipts, which can carry dividend withholding at the company's home-country rate. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Danaos 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.
