Foreign Portfolio Investors Inject Rs 23,544 Crore into Indian Equities in August
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have increased their investments in Indian equities by Rs 23,544 crore in August, following a Rs 20,200 crore inflow in July. This marks a reversal after four months of significant selling earlier in 2026. Factors driving renewed FPI interest include improving quarterly earnings, rupee stability, and positive growth prospects, particularly in mid-cap stocks. Despite recent inflows, FPIs remain net sellers for the year, with total withdrawals exceeding Rs 2.3 trillion. Investors are also monitoring crude oil prices and geopolitical developments for market direction.
