FPIs withdraw nearly ₹25,000cr from Indian markets as rupee dips
Business
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) pulled out nearly ₹25,000 crore from Indian markets during the shortened trading week ending April 3, 2026.
Most of this was from stocks, while the debt market saw mixed moves: some money left via the Fully Accessible Route, but there were inflows in another segment.
The rupee also dipped to ₹94.65 against the US dollar.

This weekly exit is part of a bigger trend: March 2026 saw FPIs withdraw an all-time high of over ₹1.25 lakh crore across assets, with equities hit hardest.
Experts say global worries like rising geopolitical tensions, crude prices, and a weakening rupee are pushing investors away.
Plus, higher US bond yields are making international investors favor safer options over Indian stocks.
