Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) continued their three-month streak in Indian equities, but inflows moderated in August, driven by domestic and global factors. However, they were consistent buyers in June and July after election-related jitters faded and stability returned to Indian markets. However, FPIs halted their buying streak with the onset of the new fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25).
FPIs invested ₹7,320 crore worth of Indian equities, and the net investment stood at ₹25,493 crore as of August 30, taking into account debt, hybrid, debt-VRR, and equities, according to the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) data.
