FPIs Withdraw Rs 48,056 Crore from Indian Equities in October Amid Market Concerns
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) withdrew Rs 48,056 crore from Indian equities in October 2026, driven by high crude oil prices near USD 114 per barrel, Middle East tensions, inflation concerns, and weak corporate earnings. This follows Rs 35,861 crore outflows in September, bringing cumulative FPI withdrawals in 2026 to Rs 3.08 lakh crore, surpassing 2025 levels. Despite this, selling pressure eased in late October with some net buying days, supported by domestic investors and factors like declining US bond yields and rupee appreciation.
