FPIs invest nearly ₹27,860 crore in Indian equities this September
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have made a significant return to the Indian market this September, by investing a substantial ₹27,856 crore in equities. This resurgence follows a period of moderation and is attributed to both domestic and global influences. After the election-related uncertainties subsided and stability was restored in the Indian market, FPIs were consistent buyers during June and July.
Net investment stands over ₹53,000 crore
Data from the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) reveals that net investment as of September 13 stands at ₹53,007 crore. This figure includes debt, hybrid, debt-VRR and equities. However, total investment in debt markets has seen a slight decline to ₹7,525 crore so far this month.
Investment trend in Indian market
The FPIs's investment pattern in the Indian market has been somewhat inconsistent. They were net sellers in August, withdrawing ₹16,469 crore from the Indian capital markets (equity and debt). However, they turned net buyers in September with a significant inflow of funds. This shift is seen as a positive sign for the health and attractiveness of India's financial market to foreign investors.
