No point unsettling system, FPIs should accept current taxation: Sebi chief

Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Saturday said there is no point unsettling the current taxation, and the foreign portfolio investors need to "live with" the system. Pandey, who took over as the Sebi chief three weeks ago, also said some companies are making "blatantly false disclosures" and the capital markets regulator does not "hesitate" to act against such malpractices. On the issue of taxation, Pandey listed out a slew of advantages which India -- the fastest growing large economy in the world -- offers, including delivering superior returns, stable policy environment and inflation being under control. "If some certainties have already come in terms of taxation, let us not unsettle it," he said, listing out positives with India like delivering over 11 per cent per annum returns on the MSCI over the last five years, fastest growing large economy, stable inflation, and fiscal consolidation.

FPIs withdraw Rs 30,000 crore from equities in first fortnight in March

Foreign investors continue to pull back money from the Indian equity market withdrawing a little over Rs 30,000 crore in the first fortnight of the month amid escalation in global trade tensions. This came following an outflow of Rs 34,574 crore from equities in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. With these, the total outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.42 lakh crore (USD 16.5 billion) in 2025 so far, data with the depositories showed. According to the data, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) offloaded shares worth Rs 30,015 crore from Indian equities this month (till March 13). This also marks the 14th consecutive week of net outflows. The prolonged selling pressure is driven by a combination of global and domestic factors. The uncertainty surrounding US trade policies under President Donald Trump, raising concerns about a potential tariff-induced recession, has weighed on global risk appetite, prompting FPIs to adopt a cautious stance towards emerging markets like India, Him

FPIs pull out Rs 24,753 crore from equities in first week of March

Foreign investors continue to pull back money from the Indian equity market, withdrawing Rs 24,753 crore (about USD 2.8 billion) in the first week of March amid escalating global trade tensions and lacklustre corporate earnings. This came following an outflow of Rs 34,574 crore from equities in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. The total outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.37 lakh crore in 2025 so far, data with the depositories showed. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) offloaded shares worth Rs 24,753 crore from Indian equities this month (till March 7). This also marks the 13th consecutive week of net outflows. Since December 13, 2024, FPIs have offloaded equity shares to the tune of USD 17.1 billion. The sustained selling by overseas investors is chiefly due to a combination of global and domestic factors. A major catalyst continues to be the escalation in global trade tensions, which significantly weigh on investor sentiment.

FPIs' selling continues; withdraw Rs 7,300 cr from equities in a week

The exodus of FPIs from the Indian equity markets continued unabated, as they withdrew over Rs 7,300 crore (about 840 million) in the first week of this month due to global trade tensions, with the US imposing tariffs on countries such as Canada, Mexico, and China. This came following an outflow of Rs 78,027 crore in the entire January. Before that, they invested Rs 15,446 crore in December, data with the depositories showed. Going forward, experts believe that market sentiment will likely take cues from global macroeconomic developments, domestic policy measures, and currency movements.

Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director-Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said that a key driver of the outflow was global trade tensions, as the United States imposed tariffs on countries including Canada, Mexico, and China
