Foreign Investors' Mixed Activity Highlights India's Market Dynamics and Growth Challenges
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been net sellers in Indian equities recently, with significant outflows in September despite intermittent buying. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have offset some selling by increasing their holdings. FIIs' participation in primary markets remains notable, though their overall ownership has declined over the years. Passive funds under-allocate India relative to its market size, while experts emphasize the importance of foreign investors for India's goal of doubling market capitalization to $10 trillion amid global economic shifts and rising oil prices.
