DIIs Offset FII Equity Sales with Record Investments in Fiscal 2026 Amid Market Volatility
In fiscal 2026, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold Rs 1.81 lakh crore in Indian equities, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) purchased Rs 8.09 lakh crore, absorbing the foreign outflows. DIIs, led by mutual funds and supported by robust retail inflows through systematic investment plans (SIPs), have increased their market share, contributing to market resilience amid global uncertainties. Recent weekly data showed FIIs selling Rs 1,602 crore and DIIs investing Rs 17,320 crore, with market volatility influenced by high crude prices and geopolitical tensions.
