Foreign investors put in Rs 14,590 crore in the country's equity market in June, marking the third straight month of investment, supported by improving global liquidity conditions, easing geopolitical tensions, and a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India. However, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in July and pulled out Rs 1,421 crore in the first week of the month, data with the depositories showed. Going forward, in the near term, FPI flows are expected to remain choppy on account of tariff deadline developments and US data volatility, Vaqarjaved Khan, Senior Fundamental Analyst, Angel One, said. In addition, FPIs buying will hinge on Q1FY26 result indications. "If the results indicate earnings recovery, that will be positive. Disappointment on these factors can impact the market and, thereby, flows," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said. According to the data with the depositories, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 14,590 cror

After investing a staggering amount in May, foreign investors turned net sellers with a withdrawal of Rs 8,749 crore from the Indian equity markets in the first week of this month triggered by renewed US-China trade tensions and rising US bond yields. This momentum follows a net investment of Rs 19,860 crore in May and Rs 4,223 crore in April, 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. With the latest withdrawal, the total outflow has reached Rs 1.01 lakh crore in 2025 so far. "This bearish sentiment was triggered by renewed US-China trade tensions and rising US bond yields, which steered investors towards safer assets," Himanshu Srivastava, Associate director - Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said. Besides, a US investigation into Adani Group's alleged sanction violation on Iran further weighed down investor confid

Foreign investors continue to exhibit confidence in the country's equity market, injecting Rs 19,860 crore in May driven by favourable global economic indicators and strong domestic fundamentals. This positive momentum follows a net investment of Rs 4,223 crore in April, 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 forward, FPIs are likely to continue their investment in India. However, at higher levels they might sell since valuations are getting stretched, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said. According to the data with the depositories, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 19,860 crore in equities in May. The latest flow has helped narrow the outflow to Rs 92,491 crore in 2025 so far.

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.

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.

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
