FPIs invest ₹23,544 crore in Indian equities in Aug on earnings revival, rupee stability
The inflow comes after FPIs invested ₹20,200 crore in July, marking a sharp turnaround from four consecutive months of heavy selling and signalling renewed confidence in Indian equities
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have increased their investments in Indian equities by ₹23,544 crore in August, driven by a revival in earnings, a stable rupee and improved market outlook. This increase follows a sharp turnaround from the previous four months of heavy selling, signaling renewed confidence in Indian equities. FPIs had previously withdrawn a total of ₹1.66 lakh crore in 2025, compared to their current outflow of around ₹2.3 lakh crore in 2026.
The factors contributing to FPIs' return to the Indian market include earnings growth, rupee stability and robust growth prospects of broader market companies. Currently, FPIs are selectively investing in mid-cap stocks despite their elevated valuations, rather than large banking or IT stocks. In the coming week, market movements will be closely monitored, particularly crude oil prices and developments in US-Iran tensions.
FPIs are also showing interest in the debt market, with investments of ₹852 crore through the Fully Accessible Route (FAR) and withdrawals of ₹995 crore through the general route.
