      <description><![CDATA[Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) withdrew approximately Rs 13,138-14,474 crore from Indian equities in the first half of September 2026, reversing net buying seen in July and August.

Despite this, FPIs continued investing in the primary market. Domestic institutional investors provided support by purchasing equities, helping cushion market declines amid ongoing geopolitical and inflation concerns.]]></description>
