Foreign Portfolio Investors Invest Rs 30,919 Crore in Indian Equities for Second Month
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) invested Rs 30,919 crore in Indian equities in August, marking the second consecutive month of net buying after four months of heavy selling. This inflow follows Rs 20,200 crore invested in July and reflects improving corporate earnings, stable rupee, resilient economic activity, and easing geopolitical concerns. Despite this positive trend, FPIs remain net sellers in 2026 with withdrawals totaling Rs 2.23 lakh crore so far, exceeding the outflow recorded in 2025. Experts highlight domestic fundamentals and a favorable global environment as key drivers of renewed foreign investment.
