FPIs Withdraw Rs 44,166 Crore in October, 2026 Outflows Exceed Rs 3 Lakh Crore
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have withdrawn Rs 44,166 crore from Indian equities in October 2026, pushing total outflows this year beyond Rs 3 lakh crore, significantly higher than the Rs 1.66 lakh crore in 2025. Elevated crude oil prices, a stronger US dollar, and higher US bond yields have influenced this trend, alongside foreign capital attracted to AI-driven rallies in North Asian markets. Experts attribute the selling to global capital repositioning rather than India-specific economic weakness, noting domestic investors have cushioned market impact despite sustained pressure on equities.
