FPIs pump ₹14,610 cr in Indian equities in Oct, end 3-month outflow streak

After withdrawing money for the past three months, foreign investors have turned net buyers with a net infusion of Rs 14,610 crore in October, supported by resilient corporate earnings, a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, and hopes of US-India trade talks materialising soon. This turnaround comes after a prolonged spell of persistent outflows, with FPIs pulling out Rs 23,885 crore in September, Rs 34,990 crore in August, and Rs 17,700 crore in July, data from depositories showed. The renewed inflow in October, therefore, marks a notable shift in sentiment, reflecting fresh confidence among global investors towards Indian markets. Explaining the change, Himanshu Srivastava, Principal, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said the reversal was driven by improved risk sentiment and attractive valuations, following the recent correction and resilient corporate earnings across key sectors. He added that the turnaround also coincided with easing inflation, expectati

FPIs pump ₹6,480 cr in Indian equities in Oct after 3-month outflow spree

After withdrawing money on a net basis for the past three months, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have turned buyers with a Rs 6,480 crore investment in October so far, driven by strong macroeconomic factors. The development comes after persistent outflows in recent times, with FPIs pulling out Rs 23,885 crore in September, Rs 34,990 crore in August, and Rs 17,700 crore in July, data from depositories showed. The renewed inflow in October marks a significant shift in sentiment and reflects fresh confidence among global investors towards Indian markets. Several key drivers underpin this reversal. According to Himanshu Srivastava, Principal, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, India's macro backdrop remains relatively strong among emerging markets, with stable growth, manageable inflation, and resilient domestic demand helping the country stand out. He further noted that global liquidity conditions are gradually easing, with expectations of rate cuts or at le

FPIs withdraw ₹7,945 cr in Sept, net outflow at ₹1.4 trn in 2025 so far

Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 7,945 crore from Indian equities so far in September, weighed down by global uncertainties such as tariffs and persistent geopolitical tensions. This follows heavy outflows of Rs 34,990 crore in August and Rs 17,700 crore in July, taking the total equity sell-off by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in 2025 to Rs 1.38 lakh crore, according to depository data. Looking ahead, market experts believe that upcoming macroeconomic data from India and the US, along with progress in tariff negotiations, will be key drivers of FPI flows in the coming week. Although FPIs remain net sellers in September, with cumulative equity outflows of Rs 7,945 crore till September 19, their selling has moderated. In fact, during the latest week, they briefly turned net buyers, purchasing Rs 900 crore of equities after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

FPIs pull nearly ₹18,000 crore from equities in August amid trade tensions

Foreign investors have pulled out nearly Rs 18,000 crore from Indian equities so far this month, weighed down by escalating US-India trade tensions, disappointing first-quarter corporate earnings, and a weakening Indian rupee. With this, the total outflow by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in equities has reached Rs 1.13 lakh crore so far in 2025, according to data from the depositories. Going forward, FPI sentiment is expected to remain "fragile and in risk-off mode," with tariffs and trade negotiations emerging as key factors to watch out for in the coming week, according to Vaqarjaved Khan, CFA, Senior Fundamental Analyst at Angel One. The data showed that FPIs withdrew a net sum of Rs 17,924 crore from equities in this month (till August 8). Foreign investors had pulled out Rs 17,741 crore on a net basis in July.

FPIs continue to invest; inject Rs 14,167 crore in equities in May

Foreign investors continue to show confidence in the country's equity market, infusing Rs 14,167 crore so far this month, largely driven by favourable global cues and robust domestic fundamentals. Notably, this inflow has come despite the ongoing military tensions between India and Pakistan. This positive momentum follows a net investment of Rs 4,223 crore in April, marking the first inflow in three months, data with the depositories showed. Prior to this, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) had pulled out Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February, and a substantial Rs 78,027 crore in January. Going ahead, global macros (declining dollar, slowing US and Chinese economy) and domestic macros (high GDP growth and declining inflation and interest rates) will facilitate increasing FPI inflow into the Indian equity, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said. However, debt inflows are likely to remain very low, he added. According to the data with t

FPIs infuse ₹4,223 cr in April, turn net buyers for first time in 3 months

Foreign investors have injected Rs 4,223 crore in the country's equity market in April as they turned net buyers for the first time in three months amid a blend of favourable global cues and robust domestic fundamentals. The inflow of foreign capital came last month following a back-to-back net outflow of Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. Going ahead, FPI inflows could remain stable, but will be constrained by the modest earnings growth of around 5 per cent in FY25, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 4,223 crore in equities in the entire April. The latest flow has helped in narrowing the outflow to Rs 1.12 lakh crore in 2025 so far. India's equity markets witnessed a sharp resurgence in FPI activity in April, signalling a marked reversal from the outflows seen earlier this year. This re

FPIs extend investment in Indian equities, inject Rs 17,425 crore in a week

Foreign investors have infused Rs 17,425 crore in the country's equity markets last week, supported by a combination of favourable global cues and strong domestic macroeconomic fundamentals. This came following a net investment of Rs 8,500 crore in the preceding holiday-truncated week ended April 18. Globally, steady performances in major markets, expectations of a pause in US Federal Reserve's rate hikes, and a stable US dollar boosted risk appetite for emerging markets like India. Easing global trade tensions further lifted investor sentiment, Himanshu Srivastava, Associate director - Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said. Domestically, India's resilient growth outlook, moderating inflation, and an optimistic forecast of an above-normal monsoon for 2025 enhanced confidence in the market. Together, these factors created an attractive investment environment for foreign investors, he added. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made

FPIs turn net buyers, inject Rs 8,500 crore in holiday-shortened week

Foreign investors have infused nearly Rs 8,500 crore in the country's equity markets last week, after a phase of heavy outflows earlier in the month, supported by renewed investor confidence, resilient domestic economy and relative insulation from global trade disruptions. During the holiday-truncated week ended April 18, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 8,472 crore in equities. This includes withdrawal of Rs 2,352 crore on April 15, but investment of Rs 10,824 crore in the following two days, data with the depositories showed. While the recent uptick in FPI activity signals a potential shift in sentiment, the sustainability of these flows will hinge on the evolving trajectory of global macroeconomic conditions, stability in the US trade policy, and the continued strength of India's domestic growth outlook, Himanshu Srivastava, Associate director - Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said. During the week, trading took place on just three days fr

FPIs withdraw Rs 31,575 crore from equities in April on US tariff jitters

Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 31,575 crore from the country's equity markets so far this month, in the wake of turbulence emanating from sweeping tariffs imposed by the US on most nations, including India. This came following a net investment of Rs 30,927 crore in the six trading sessions from March 21 to March 28. This infusion helped reduce the overall outflow for March to Rs 3,973 crore, according to data from the depositories. Compared to previous months, this marks a notable improvement. In February, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) took out Rs 34,574 crore, while in January, the outflow was even higher at Rs 78,027 crore. This shift in investor sentiment highlighted the volatility and evolving dynamics in global financial markets. According to the data, FPIs pulled out Rs 31,575 crore from Indian equities between April 1 and April 11. With this, the total outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.48 lakh crore so far in 2025.

FPIs invest ₹31k cr in equities in 6 sessions on strong valuations, macro

Foreign investors have infused nearly Rs 31,000 crore in the Indian equity markets in the last six trading sessions of the month primarily due to attractive valuations, appreciation in the rupee and improvement in macroeconomic indicators. The re-emergence of Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) as buyers contributed to a smart recovery of about 6 per cent in benchmark index Nifty, reflecting renewed confidence in the market. This latest infusion has also helped reduce the overall outflow for March to Rs 3,973 crore, according to data from the depositories. In comparison to previous months, this marks a significant improvement, as FPIs had pulled out Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. Going forward, the trend in FPI flows will depend mainly on the Trump's reciprocal tariffs expected on April 2. If the tariffs are not severe, the rally may continue, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said. According to the data, FPIs have pulled

Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 34,574 crore from the Indian equity markets in February pushing total outflows to Rs 1.12 lakh crore in the first two months of 2025 amid rising global trade tensions and concerns over corporate earnings growth.

FPIs pull out Rs 976 crore from Indian equities amid rising dollar

After two weeks of buying, FPIs turned net sellers in Indian equities this week, with a net withdrawal of Rs 976 crore amid a strengthening US dollar and steady rise in US 10-year bond yields, impacting investor sentiment. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) began the week on a positive note, investing Rs 3,126 crore in equities during the first two trading sessions (December 16-20). However, the trend reversed in the latter half of the week, with FPIs offloading equities worth over Rs 4,102 crore in the subsequent three sessions. This resulted in an overall net outflow of Rs 976 crore during the week, data from National Securities Depository Limited showed. Despite this short-term reversal, the broader December trend remains positive. FPIs have infused Rs 21,789 crore into Indian equities so far this month, reflecting continued confidence in India's economic growth potential and its resilient markets. FPIs adopted a cautious approach due to the US Fed meeting and uncertainty about
