FPIs withdraw ₹13,138 crore from equities in Sep amid global uncertainty
The latest outflow comes after Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) turned net buyers in July and August, infusing ₹20,200 crore and ₹29,630 crore, respectively
Foreign investors withdrew ₹13,138 crore from Indian equities in the first half of September due to global uncertainty, which pushed crude oil prices up. Rising US bond yields and a strong dollar also contributed to the decline in risk appetite. This follows a trend of net buying by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in the previous two months.
In the first two weeks of September, FPIs withdrew an additional ₹13,138 crore, bringing the total outflow from Indian equities to ₹2.37 lakh crore so far in 2026. This outflow surpasses the ₹1.66 lakh crore withdrawn during the entire 2025. The latest withdrawal is attributed more to global factors like US bond yields, crude oil prices, and the probability of a US rate hike, rather than domestic concerns.
