Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have withdrawn a staggering ₹44,166 crore from Indian equities in October 2026, driving their total equity outflows for the year beyond the ₹3 lakh crore mark. This sharp reversal in foreign investment sentiment is attributed to global capital repositioning due to rising crude oil prices, a stronger US dollar, and elevated American bond yields.
Despite the heavy foreign outflows, domestic institutional investors have continued to provide support to the Indian stock markets. The Nifty has fallen nearly 14% so far in 2026, reflecting the sustained pressure from these global uncertainties.
