FIIs Increase Stakes in Indian Ethanol and Midcap Stocks Amid Policy Support
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have increased stakes in select Indian ethanol and midcap stocks amid supportive government policies and rising demand. India's push for the E20 fuel program is boosting ethanol producers like Bajaj Hindusthan, which plans capacity expansion. Simultaneously, FIIs and mutual funds have raised holdings in several midcap companies, including Radico Khaitan and Premier Energies, contributing to notable share price gains over six months. This institutional interest reflects confidence in growth prospects across these sectors.
