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

Sebi eases FPIs' disclosure norms; doubles assets threshold to Rs 50,000 cr

Easing the disclosure norms for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs), markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday doubled the asset threshold to Rs 50,000 crore for making granular beneficial ownership disclosures. The decision has been taken amid an increase in the market size. Cash equity markets' trading volumes have more than doubled between FY 2022-23 and FY 2024-25. Accordingly, it has been decided to increase the threshold under size criteria from Rs 25,000 crore to Rs 50,000 crore, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a circular. Now, FPIs (individually or as an investor group), holding more than Rs 50,000 crore of equity AUM in Indian markets are required to disclose details of all entities holding any ownership, economic interest, or control, on a full look through basis. The new framework will come into force with immediate effect, Sebi added. Last month, the board of Sebi approved a proposal in this regard. In August 2023, Sebi had directed FPIs, who were

FPI outflows ebb amid easing global concerns, optimism over Ukraine war

The Indian equity market has witnessed a moderation in FPIs' selling pressure with the outflows narrowing to Rs 1,794 crore (USD 194 million) last week, buoyed by easing global concerns and growing optimism around a potential de-escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, despite this positive shift, it still marks the 15th consecutive week of outflows. Going forward, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) are expected to remain cautious, awaiting greater clarity on the US Federal Reserve's interest rate trajectory, geopolitical developments, and India's domestic economic outlook, according to Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director of Manager Research at Morningstar Investment. According to the data with the depositories, FPIs have offloaded equity shares worth Rs 1,794 crore (USD 194 million) for the week ended March 21. This was in comparison to USD 604 million outflow observed in the holiday-shortened preceding week. Last week, FPIs turned net buyers on two occasions, with

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
