Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) made a remarkable comeback to Indian markets in September, snapping their previous moderation, driven by domestic and global factors. FPIs were consistent buyers in June and July after election-related jitters faded and stability returned to Indian markets. However, FPIs halted their buying streak with the onset of the new fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25).
FPIs invested ₹27,856 crore worth of Indian equities, and the net investment stood at ₹53,007 crore as of September 13, taking into account debt, hybrid, debt-VRR, and equities, according to the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) data. This month, the total investment in debt markets moderated to ₹7,525 crore.
