FPIs pull out ₹2,000cr+ in 3 days; ₹1,150cr inflow Friday
After three straight days of pulling money out, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) put ₹1,150 crore back into Indian markets on Friday.
This fresh inflow follows some big withdrawals earlier in the week—including a hefty ₹2,253 crore exit on October 1—and hints at renewed foreign interest even as total FPI exits for 2025 have hit nearly ₹2 lakh crore.
FPIs still hold over ₹3,200 crore in primary market
FPI money keeps markets liquid and less jumpy.
Even though September saw a huge FPI sell-off of over ₹27,000 crore through exchanges, they still held onto primary market investments worth ₹3,278 crore—showing they're not giving up on India just yet.
Most of this week's new cash went into debt via the Voluntary Retention Route (VRR), signaling cautious optimism.
New debt inflows signal cautious optimism
The comeback is driven by India's stock prices getting closer to global levels and hopes for stronger corporate earnings in FY27.
As Shrikant Chouhan from Kotak Securities points out, global jitters like US political drama and mixed economic signals are still making investors nervous.
Still, these new inflows—especially into debt—could mean the worst of the selling spree is easing up.
