Foreign Portfolio Investors Withdraw Rs 49,340 Crore from Indian Equities in June 2026
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued to withdraw from Indian equities in June, pulling out Rs 49,340 crore amid global risk aversion, rising US bond yields, and high domestic market valuations. Total FPI outflows in 2026 have reached Rs 2.7 lakh crore, surpassing 2025's full-year figure. While FPIs were net buyers only in February, selling resumed sharply from March onwards. Market sentiment improved in late June due to easing geopolitical tensions and lower crude prices, moderating outflows but not reversing the trend.
