FPIs Record Highest Monthly Investment in Indian Government Securities in June
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have invested a record Rs 31,933 crore in Indian government securities (G-Secs) through the fully accessible route (FAR) in June, with net inflows reaching Rs 14,034 crore on a single day after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) added bonds with 15-, 30-, and 40-year maturities to the FAR list. The government’s removal of taxes on capital gains and interest income for FPIs, effective April 1, alongside RBI’s forex swap policies, contributed to improved market sentiment, a 10 basis point drop in the 10-year bond yield to 6.88%, and a rupee appreciation above 94.5 per dollar. Despite this, FPIs have continued to sell Indian equities amid global economic concerns, with cumulative outflows surpassing Rs 2.87 lakh crore in 2026.
