FPIs Withdraw from Indian Government Bonds Amid Yield and Index Uncertainty; US Treasury Holdings Rise
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) withdrew Rs 17,417 crore from India's government securities under the Fully Accessible Route in September and October, reversing earlier inflows driven by relaxed investment rules and tax amendments. Elevated US Treasury yields, rupee depreciation, and uncertainty over India's inclusion in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index influenced this trend. Meanwhile, India's holdings of US Treasury securities rose to $219.71 billion in August, supported by Reserve Bank of India's dollar inflows and attractive US yields. Analysts note that a wider India-US bond yield differential is needed to attract sustained foreign investment.
