Foreign Investors Reduce Holdings in Indian Equities and Government Bonds Amid Global Uncertainty
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have recently reduced their investments in Indian markets, selling equities worth ₹13,138 crore in early September and withdrawing over ₹5,109 crore from government securities amid global uncertainties. Despite a brief revival in July and August, FPIs have been net sellers for most of 2026, citing high equity valuations, currency depreciation, rising crude oil prices, and increasing US Treasury yields as key factors. These outflows have added pressure on the rupee and affected market sentiment.
