In 2025, foreign investors have withdrawn a total of ₹ 1.66 lakh crore from the Indian market.
The selling phase by foreign investors (FIIs) in the Indian stock market continues in the new year. With the beginning of the year 2026, in the first 15 days of January, foreign investors have sold shares worth ₹ 22,530 crore from the domestic market. Last week, in only four trading sessions, foreign investors sold ₹ 14,266 crore.
Last week was short due to holidays, yet the pace of selling was very fast. According to market experts, due to increasing tension at the global level and high valuation of shares in India, foreign investors are withdrawing their money.
Good results of IT sector are not affected
The third quarter results of big IT companies have been better than expected. Despite this, the market is not able to regain momentum. According to Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking, tariff related uncertainties and ongoing geopolitical tensions around the world are overshadowing the good results of IT companies.
Investors are afraid about what the global trade policy will be like in the coming time, hence they are booking profits.
There was a record sale of ₹ 1.66 lakh crore in 2025
In December 2025, foreign investors had sold shares worth ₹22,611 crore. If we talk about the entire year 2025, foreign investors have withdrawn a total of ₹ 1,66,286 crore from the Indian market. This is a big pressure for the market, due to which fluctuations are being seen in Sensex and Nifty for the last few months.
3 big reasons to withdraw money
Market expert VK Vijayakumar has given three main reasons behind this behavior of foreign investors:
- High Valuation: Indian stock markets have become quite expensive compared to other emerging markets. Foreign investors feel that now it is difficult to earn much profit from here.
- Impact of AI trade: Investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) related companies is increasing around the world. Investors are withdrawing money from traditional markets like India and investing it in sectors where more growth is seen in the future.
- Rupee weakness: Due to continuous selling, the Indian Rupee has weakened significantly against the US Dollar. This affects the profits of foreign investors, so they are trying to find a safe way out.
Experts advise to invest carefully
Invest carefully. Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking has advised investors that the market environment is mixed at present. There is uncertainty on both global and domestic fronts. In such a situation, investors should avoid borrowing too much or making big bets.
He suggested that at this time the focus should be only on good quality ‘large-cap’ and large ‘midcap’ stocks. It may be safe to invest especially in those sectors where institutional investors are interested, like IT, metals and select PSU companies.
