Foreign Investors Inject $3.1 Billion into Indian Equities Amid Strong Economic Growth
Foreign investors returned to Indian equities in August, with inflows reaching $3.1 billion (approximately Rs 29,631 crore), marking the highest monthly investment in nearly two years. This followed four months of selling and was supported by stronger corporate earnings, improved economic growth of 7.8% in the April-June quarter, relative rupee stability, and Reserve Bank of India measures. Despite this positive trend, foreign investors have sold a net $24.6 billion in Indian equities so far this year, with recent buying remaining selective.
