  "summary": "Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have resumed buying Indian equities in August, following a period of selling that lasted four months. In July, FPIs recorded net purchases of around $2.45 billion, and in August so far, they have purchased an additional $2.7 billion. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have also remained active, buying around $3.65 billion in July and $4.6 billion in August so far, though their buying activity has been about 50% below their average monthly investment over the previous six months. Rajesh Palvia, head of research at Axis Securities, attributes the recent FPI buying to selective opportunities presented by stake-sale transactions such as offers for sale (OFS), qualified institutional placements (QIPs), and other block deals. The Indian markets witnessed over ₹1.15 lakh crore in combined IPO, QIP, and OFS issuances during July and August, driven by promoters and early-stage private equity selling stakes through block and bulk deals.",
