Foreign Portfolio Investors Infuse Rs 22,615 Crore into Indian Equities in February

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) infused Rs 22,615 crore into Indian equities in February, marking the highest monthly inflow in 17 months. This shift follows three months of heavy selling and is attributed to the interim India-US trade deal, corrections in market valuations, and robust Q3 FY26 corporate earnings with 14.7% growth. However, geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran-Israel conflict, have introduced uncertainty, prompting cautious investor sentiment and potential risks to sustained inflows. Sectorally, FPIs favored financials and capital goods while reducing exposure to IT stocks.
