The Hindu
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) show strong investments in Indian equities, with ₹4,452.3 crore inflow this week, boosting investor confidence.
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made strong investments in the Indian equity markets this week, bringing in ₹4,452.3 crore between May 13 and May 16, according to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).
The highest inflows during the week were recorded on Friday (May 16, 2025), when FPIs invested a net amount of ₹5,746 crore in Indian equities. However, the trend was not consistent throughout the week. On Tuesday (May 13, 2025), the markets saw a net outflow of ₹-2,388 crore, indicating some level of uncertainty or profit booking by foreign investors.
With this week’s inflows, the total FPI investment into Indian equities so far in the month of May has reached ₹18,620 crore. The strong inflows suggest improved investor confidence, possibly driven by easing global concerns, stable domestic growth prospects, or expectations around election results.
Despite the positive trend in May, FPIs continue to be net sellers in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the total net FPI outflow stands at ₹-93,731 crore.
This is mainly due to heavy selling during the first three months of the year, January, February, and March, when global uncertainties and rising U.S. bond yields impacted investor sentiment.
Net investments by FPIs in Indian equities stood at ₹4,223 crore during April, indicated a turnaround in foreign investment trends.
In previous months NSDL data showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth ₹3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth ₹78,027 crore and ₹34,574 crore, respectively.
