Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have yanked out ₹48,213 crore (about $5.1 billion) from Indian equities in the first 10 days of April 2026 alone.
This follows a record-breaking outflow of ₹1.17 lakh crore in March (the biggest monthly withdrawal ever) after a strong inflow just back in February.
It's been a wild ride for the markets this year.
