FPIs resume selling after a brief pause in Oct, withdraw ₹12,569 cr in Nov

After a brief pause in October, foreign portfolio investors have resumed selling, pulling out a net Rs 12,569 crore from Indian equities so far in November amid weak global cues and risk-off sentiment. This follows a net inflow of Rs 14,610 crore in October, which had come after consecutive months of outflows -- Rs 23,885 crore in September, Rs 34,990 crore in August, and Rs 17,700 crore in July, according to data from depositories. The renewed selling trend, which has continued on every trading day of November so far, has contributed to India's underperformance compared with other major markets this year, said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. He noted that a key feature of FPI activity in 2025 has been the divergence in flows, with hedge funds selling in India while buying in markets perceived as beneficiaries of the AI-driven rally, such as the US, China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

FPIs dump Indian equities worth ₹21,000 crore in first half of August

Foreign investors offloaded Indian equities worth nearly Rs 21,000 crore in the first half of August, pressured by US-India trade tensions, lacklustre first-quarter corporate earnings, and a weakening rupee. With this, the total outflow by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in equities reached the Rs 1.16 lakh crore mark so far in 2025, according to data with the depositories. The FPI activity will be influenced by the action on the tariff front ahead. The recent easing of tensions between the US and Russia, coupled with the absence of fresh sanctions, suggests that the proposed 25 per cent secondary tariff on India is unlikely to take effect after August 27, a clear positive for the market, Vaqarjaved Khan, CFA - Senior Fundamental Analyst, Angel One, said. Also, S&P has upgraded India's credit rating from BBB- to BBB, a move that could further boost FPIs' sentiment, he added. According to the depositories data, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) withdrew a net sum of Rs 29,975 .

Sebi board likely to discuss regulatory reforms at Wednesday meeting

Markets watchdog Sebi's board is likely to discuss a series of regulatory reforms during its upcoming meeting on Wednesday. Several of these proposals have already been floated for public consultation, indicating a broader push towards refining the regulatory landscape. This would mark the second board meeting under the chairmanship of Tuhin Kanta Pandey, who assumed office on March 1. One of the key agenda items is the simplification of rules and regulatory compliance for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) investing exclusively in Indian Government Bonds (IGBs) through the Voluntary Retention Route (VRR) and the Fully Accessible Route (FAR). This move is aimed at attracting more long-term bond investors to the Indian market, people aware of the development said. Currently, foreign investors can invest in Indian debt through three routes-- General, VRR, and FAR. The VRR and FAR routes are comparatively liberal, as they allow investments without many of the restrictions, such as ...
