Domestic Investors Gain Ground as Foreign Holdings in Indian Equities Shift
Foreign institutional investors' (FIIs) holdings in Indian equities have increased in absolute terms since 2012, reaching around ₹783 billion despite their ownership share declining to about 15.1%. This decline reflects faster growth in domestic investor participation, particularly from mutual funds and retail investors, whose share has risen to a record 11.7%. The shift is attributed to financialisation of household wealth and currency effects, with future foreign investment dependent on corporate earnings and regional competitiveness.
