Domestic Investors Surpass FIIs in Nifty 500 Ownership Amid Shifting Market Preferences
Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have overtaken foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in ownership of India's Nifty 500 companies, holding a record 21% compared to FIIs' 17%, driven by $166 billion of domestic inflows offsetting $58 billion of foreign outflows over 22 months. Promoters also increased stakes to a two-year high amid attractive valuations. Meanwhile, FIIs shifted sector preferences, reducing holdings in large banks and increasing exposure to mid-sized banks, industrials, IT, and healthcare, reflecting evolving investment strategies.
