Domestic Investors Lead Indian Market Ownership as FIIs Resume Selective Buying
Indian stock market ownership is shifting as domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have invested $166 billion over 22 months, surpassing foreign institutional investors (FIIs) who sold $58 billion in the same period. DIIs now hold 21% of the Nifty 500, an all-time high, reflecting growing reliance on domestic capital. Meanwhile, FIIs, after two quarters of selling, resumed selective buying in the June 2026 quarter, increasing stakes in 135 large-cap stocks, with several stocks delivering significant gains, including five multibaggers.
