Foreign investors withdraw ₹31,575 crore from Indian equities due to global market turbulence and U.S. tariffs impact.
Foreign investors have pulled out ₹31,575 crore from the country’s equity markets so far this month in the wake of turbulence created by sweeping tariffs imposed by the U.S. on most nations, including India.
This came following a net investment of ₹30,927 crore in the six trading sessions from March 21 to March 28. This infusion helped reduce the overall outflow for March to ₹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 ₹34,574 crore, while in January, the outflow was even higher at ₹78,027 crore. This shift in investor sentiment highlights the volatility and evolving dynamics in global financial markets.
According to the data, FPIs pulled out ₹31,575 crore from Indian equities between April 1 and April 11.
The total withdrawn by FPIs has reached ₹1.48 lakh crore in 2025.
