FIIs pump Rs 45,960 crore into Indian stocks in a week; is the tide finally turning for Dalal Street?
Foreign institutional investors poured a net Rs 45,960 crore into Indian equities in one week, reversing October’s outflows and fuelling a sharp market rally. Improving earnings, attractive valuations and global AI stock corrections are driving renewed interest. However, sustainability of inflows, crude prices and geopolitical risks remain key concerns.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have made a significant comeback on Indian equities, injecting a net Rs 45,960 crore into the market in a single week. This surge in foreign purchasing power has reversed the previous trend of foreign selling, which saw FIIs withdraw Rs 45,162 crore in October. The return of FIIs is attributed to improving domestic earnings prospects, attractive valuations, and easing geopolitical concerns.
The renewed interest in Indian equities has been further fueled by the sell-off in US AI markets, which has made India more appealing to foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). While FIIs were net buyers across all five trading sessions during the week, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) turned net sellers for the first time in 12 weeks, offloading shares worth Rs 24,197 crore.
The sharp reversal in institutional flows has brought hope that the prolonged spell of foreign selling may finally be over, indicating a potential turning point for Dalal Street.
