Foreign Investors Invest Rs 16,621 Crore in Indian Equities in Early August
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) invested Rs 16,621 crore in Indian equities during the first half of August, continuing a buying trend following Rs 20,200 crore inflows in July. This marks a reversal after four months of heavy selling earlier in 2026. Experts attribute the renewed interest to attractive valuations, resilient corporate earnings, expectations of US interest rate cuts, softer crude prices, and lower currency volatility. Despite recent inflows, FPIs remain net sellers for 2026, with cumulative outflows exceeding those of 2025.
