The outflow came following a nine-month high investment of ₹57,724 crore in September.
Since June, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have consistently bought equities, after withdrawing ₹34,252 crore in April-May. Overall, FPIs have been net buyers in 2024, except for January, April, and May, data with the depositories showed.
