Foreign investors invested ₹14,610 crore in October: After selling ₹76,575 crore in 3 months, now they became buyers

Foreign Portfolio Investors i.e. FPI have invested Rs 14,610 crore in the Indian stock market in October. Earlier, FPI had withdrawn money from the market for three consecutive months. According to reports, FPI has started buying due to India’s strong economy and positive changes in the global market.

FPI had withdrawn ₹76,575 crore in the last 3 months

FPI had sold shares worth Rs 23,885 crore in September, Rs 34,990 crore in August and Rs 17,700 crore in July. That means in the last three months, FPI had withdrawn a total of Rs 76,575 crore. But now the sentiment has changed. It is clear from the depository data that the confidence of global investors is increasing again in the Indian market.

FPI sold shares worth ₹6,728 crore on Friday

Whereas on the last trading day of last week i.e. Friday, Foreign Portfolio Investors remained sellers and Domestic Institutional Investors i.e. DIIs remained net buyers. According to NSE data, on October 17, FPIs sold shares worth Rs 6,728 crore. DII has bought shares worth Rs 6,889 crore.

During the trading session, DIIs bought shares worth Rs 17,659 crore and sold shares worth Rs 10,769 crore. Whereas FIIs bought shares worth Rs 11,096 crore and sold shares worth Rs 17,824 crore.

India looks strongest among emerging markets

Himanshu Srivastava, Principal of Morningstar Investment Research, says that India looks the strongest among the emerging markets. Here growth is stable, inflation is under control and domestic demand is also stable.

He further explains that global liquidity is increasing due to the expectation of decreasing interest rates in America. If the desire to take risk is returning, then money is being invested in high return countries like India. Also, valuations have now become attractive due to falling share prices. That means there is an opportunity to buy on dip.

Inflow came due to reduction in trade tension between America and India

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Strategist of Geojit Investments, also says that India’s performance in the last one year was weak, due to which the difference in valuations from other markets has reduced. Now the relative performance is likely to be better.

Angel One Senior Analyst Waqar Javed Khan said that this inflow has also come due to the reduction in trade tension between America and India. Indian stocks have become cheaper than their global peers due to the selloff in early 2025.

FPI has withdrawn a total of ₹ 1.5 lakh crore so far in 2025

Experts believe that trade deals and earnings of companies will decide the season flow in the coming weeks. Although FPI has withdrawn a total of Rs 1.5 lakh crore so far in 2025, this inflow gives hope.

FPI’s interest in debt market also continues

In October (till October 17), FPIs invested Rs 5,332 crore in bonds through general limit and Rs 214 crore through voluntary retention route. Meaning, their interest continues in the loan market also. Overall, this shift is a good sign for the Indian market.
