Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have resumed their investment in Indian equities in August, injecting Rs 16,621 crore in the first half of the month, following a significant Rs 20,200 crore investment in July. This marks a reversal from four consecutive months of heavy foreign selling. The resurgence in FPI interest is attributed to improving valuations compared to other markets, resilient company earnings, expectations of US interest rate cuts, softer crude oil prices, and lower currency volatility.
Despite the recent improvement, FPIs remain net sellers in Indian equities for 2026, with withdrawals totaling around Rs 2.4 lakh crore, surpassing the Rs 1.66 lakh crore outflow recorded in all of 2025.
