Uttar Pradesh steps up efforts to attract foreign investment in manufacturing, semiconductors, electronics and data centres

After investing in Indian equities for two consecutive months, foreign investors turned net sellers in the first week of September, pulling out Rs 7,443 crore as a rebound in crude oil prices, rising US bond yields, and a firm dollar dented risk appetite. The outflow came after foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) infused Rs 30,919 crore in August and Rs 20,200 crore in July. Before that, they remained net sellers for four straight months from March to June. With the latest withdrawal, total outflow by foreign portfolio investors from Indian equities has climbed to Rs 2.32 lakh crore so far in 2026, surpassing the Rs 1.66 lakh crore withdrawn in 2025. Rajkumar Rathi, Chief Investment Officer at YES Securities, said the recent selling was driven by a rebound in crude oil prices, raising concerns over India's inflation and current account outlook. "Further strengthening US bond yields and a firm dollar index have reduced foreign risk appetite for emerging markets," he said. Rathi also
