Foreign Portfolio Investors Invest Rs 30,919 Crore in Indian Equities in August
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) invested Rs 30,919 crore in Indian equities in August, marking their second consecutive month of net buying after four months of heavy selling earlier in 2026. This inflow follows Rs 20,200 crore invested in July and reflects improving corporate earnings, resilient economic activity, a stable rupee, and easing geopolitical concerns. Despite recent buying, FPIs remain net sellers in 2026 with total withdrawals exceeding Rs 2.23 lakh crore. Experts attribute the trend reversal to factors like the chip trade reversal and stronger earnings growth.
