In comparison with earlier months, this marks a notable enchancment. In February, overseas portfolio buyers (FPIs) took out Rs 34,574 crore, whereas in January, the outflow was even larger at Rs 78,027 crore. This shift in investor sentiment highlighted the volatility and evolving dynamics in world monetary markets.
In response to the information, FPIs pulled out Rs 31,575 crore from Indian equities between April 1 and April 11.
With this, the whole outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.48 lakh crore to date in 2025.
“The turbulence in world inventory markets following President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs has been impacting FPI investments in India too,” VK Vijayakumar, Chief Funding Strategist, Geojit Investments, mentioned.
He believes {that a} clear sample in FPI technique will emerge solely after the continuing chaos dies down. “Within the medium time period FPIs are prone to flip consumers in India since each the US and China are heading for an inevitable slowdown on account of the continuing commerce conflict. Even in an unfavourable world situation India can develop by 6 per cent in FY26. This, together with higher earnings development anticipated in FY26, can appeal to FPI investments into India as soon as the mud out there settles down,” he added. Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Analysis, Ventura, mentioned the continuing sell-off in Indian equities is pushed by macro and geopolitical danger led by tariffs slapped by the US authorities.
Nonetheless, the nation’s sturdy macro fundamentals stay intact. Sturdy home demand and ongoing commerce realignment proceed to place India favourably for the long run, he added.
Aside from equities, FPIs took out Rs 4,077 crore from debt common restrict and withdrew Rs 6,633 crore from debt voluntary retention route.
