FPIs Resume Selling, Withdraw Rs 7,443 Crore from Indian Equities in Early September
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) resumed selling Indian equities in the first week of September, withdrawing Rs 7,443 crore after two months of net buying. This shift was influenced by rising crude oil prices, higher US bond yields, and a stronger dollar, which reduced risk appetite for emerging markets. Despite this, FPIs remain interested in India's primary market, supported by a strong IPO pipeline. Total FPI outflows from Indian equities in 2026 have reached Rs 2.32 lakh crore, surpassing 2025's full-year outflow.
