How to invest in Smurfit Westrock from India

  1. 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.

  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 SW and buy

    Find Smurfit Westrock by name or by its ticker, SW, 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 Smurfit Westrock from India

What Smurfit Westrock does

Smurfit Westrock Plc, together with its subsidiaries, manufactures, distributes, and sells containerboard, corrugated containers, and other paper-based packaging products in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and internationally.

Hold a dollar asset

Smurfit Westrock 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

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Smurfit Westrock stock from India?

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Smurfit Westrock (SW) shares directly through Paasa. Smurfit Westrock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the Packaging & Containers 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 Smurfit Westrock share?

No. You can buy part of one Smurfit Westrock share and add to your position over time. One share is $46.41, and you can buy whole shares or any fraction; there is no minimum trade size.

How are Smurfit Westrock dividends taxed for Indian investors?

Smurfit Westrock trades on the New York Stock Exchange but is domiciled in Ireland, 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 Smurfit Westrock 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.
