According to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) are getting ₹ 4,452.3 crore in Indian equity markets this week in Indian equity markets.
The highest flow during the week was recorded on Friday (May 16, 2025), when FPI invested a net amount of 5,746 crore in Indian equities. However, this trend was not consistent throughout the week. On Tuesday (May 13, 2025), the markets saw a net outflow of -2,388 crores, indicating some levels of uncertainty or profit booking by foreign investors.
With the arrival of this week, the total FPI investment in Indian equity has reached 18,620 crores in the month of May. Strong flow suggested improving investors’ confidence, possibly inspired by global concerns, stable domestic development possibilities, or reducing expectations around election results.
Despite the positive trend in May, FPI remains a pure seller in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the total pure FPI outflow is of -93,731 crore.
This is mainly due to heavy sales during the first three months of the year, January, February and March, when global uncertainty and rising American bond yields affected the investor’s spirit.
The net investment by FPI in Indian equity was ₹ 4,223 crore during April, indicating a change in the trends of foreign investment.
In the last months, NSDL data revealed that FPI had sold shares worth ₹ 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, he sold ₹ 78,027 crore and ₹ 34,574 crore respectively.
The turnaround in April comes after the net outflow months and reflects the trust of investors in the Indian economy from a fresh.
In the last week, the benchmark indices saw a promising uptrend rally. The Nifty is 4.2 percent higher, while Sensex was above 2875 points.
In areas, all major regional indices traded in a positive field, but defense, reality and capital market indices improved it. Raksha got 17%, capital market 11.50%and reality 10.85%.
