Foreign Investors Increase Indian Equity Investments in August Amid Earnings and Rupee Stability
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have increased their investments in Indian equities by approximately ₹23,544 crore in August, reversing months of heavy selling earlier in 2026. This renewed buying is driven by factors such as improving corporate earnings, rupee stability, and positive growth prospects, particularly in mid-cap stocks. Despite this inflow, FPIs remain net sellers for the year, with concerns over elevated US bond yields and geopolitical uncertainties influencing market sentiment. Investors are also monitoring crude oil prices and US Federal Reserve policy signals.
