How to invest in Powell Industries from India
Step 1
Open your Paasa account

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.

Find Powell Industries by name or by its ticker, POWL, 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 Powell Industries from India
What Powell Industries does
Powell Industries, Inc., operating with its subsidiaries, specializes in the comprehensive design, development, manufacturing, sales, and maintenance of customized electrical apparatus and systems. These advanced solutions are engineered to efficiently manage the distribution, regulation, and oversight of electrical energy. Powell Industries operates in the Electrical Equipment & Parts industry within the Industrials sector.
Hold a dollar asset
Powell 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 Powell 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 industrials exposure through a UCITS ETF instead, which sits outside US estate tax.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Powell Industries stock from India?
Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Powell Industries (POWL) shares directly through Paasa. Powell Industries is listed on NASDAQ, in the Electrical Equipment & Parts 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 Powell Industries share?
No. You can buy part of one Powell Industries share and add to your position over time. A whole share is $189.53, but there is no minimum trade size, so you choose the amount.
How are Powell 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. Powell Industries’ current yield is 0.19%. 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 Powell 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 Powell 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 industrials 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.
