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.

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.

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.
