Intel’s most unusual shareholder isn’t a fund or an index; it’s the US government, which bought a 10% stake for $8.9 billion in August 2025. NVIDIA put in another $5 billion months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, the stock has run from roughly $20 to an all-time high of $142.35 on June 30, 2026, a move few large-cap names manage in a decade. It’s been volatile since (trading in the $90-$140 range through September) but the broader re-rating has held. This is important to buy Intel stock (INTC) in India, because the two available routes carry genuinely different exposure to a company whose ownership structure looks nothing like it did two years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to buy Intel stock in India? Remit money abroad under RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) and buy actual INTC shares through an international broker, or buy tokenized Intel stock directly with INR on a platform like Mudrex. Let\u2019s see what separates them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LRS Route: What Owning Real Intel Shares Involves<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Real ownership means an international brokerage account and a remittance under LRS. A few specifics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One detail worth flagging for anyone comparing how to buy Intel stock in India across both routes: Intel suspended its dividend in 2024 and hasn’t reinstated it. The usual pitch for owning shares directly (dividends plus voting rights) is missing half its case here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What real ownership still gets you is a vote, and direct exposure to whatever the government’s stake and the foundry turnaround actually produce over the next few years, for better or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Tokenized Intel Stock Is, and Isn’t<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tokenized Intel stock is a token that tracks INTC’s price 1:1, backed by real shares a custodian holds. On Mudrex, this spot token trades under the ticker INTCB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A custodian holds real INTC shares, and INTCB is minted against that reserve on a 1:1 basis. The token’s claim is only as good as the custodian’s own solvency and regulatory standing, so custodian quality is the real risk to evaluate here, not the underlying stock’s volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTCB can typically be moved to a self-custody wallet the way other tokens can, but that doesn’t change what you’re actually holding. Self-custody moves the token, not the underlying claim structure; you still hold a right against the custodian’s reserves, not a brokerage-held share with its own protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Intel specifically, the dividend trade-off that usually applies to tokenized positions barely bites right now, since there’s no dividend to forfeit while the company’s own payout stays suspended. What you do give up is a vote, and any claim tied to Intel’s actual cap table, including whatever the government’s stake or a future dividend reinstatement might eventually be worth to a real shareholder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
