Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) stayed net sellers of Indian shares for a fifth consecutive session on Friday, selling stocks worth approximately Rs 5,687.58 crore, according to provisional data from the National Stock Exchange. On the other hand, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) remained buyers for the 24th session, mopping up equities worth Rs 5,843.21 crore.
This Week’s FPI and DII Activity
This week, FPIs sold shares worth nearly Rs 19,570 crore, while DIIs bought shares worth Rs 17,411.40 crore. In the last week, FPIs offloaded shares worth Rs 1,192.80 crore, while DIIs bought Rs 11,088.41 crore.
The FPIs sold stocks worth nearly Rs 4,995.42 crore on Thursday; Rs 2425.75 crore on Wednesday; Rs 3,551.19 crore on Tuesday; and Rs 2,910 crore on Monday, according to the data from National Securities Depository Ltd.
Monthly FPI Activity
So far in September, FPIs have offloaded equities worth Rs 17,551 crore, as per NSDL. The FPIs’ net selling in August stood at Rs 34,993 crore, and in July, it was Rs 17,741 crore. However, they were net buyers of equities worth Rs 14,590 crore in June.
In 2025 so far, the FPIs have net sold equities worth Rs 1.48 lakh crore. This significant outflow of foreign funds has raised concerns among Indian investors and traders, who are closely watching the impact on the Indian stock market.
Impact on Nifty and Sensex
On Friday, the benchmark indices clocked in their worst week in nearly eight months, closing in red for the sixth consecutive session. Nifty ended 0.95% lower at 24,654.7, while Sensex ended 0.90% lower at 80,426.46. All sectoral indices fell over 1% for the week.
The continuous selling by FPIs has put pressure on the Nifty trends and Sensex news, causing concern among investors. However, the buying by DIIs has provided some support to the market.
What’s Next for Indian Markets?
The Indian stock market is expected to remain volatile in the coming days, with the ongoing FPI selling and the upcoming Q2 earnings season. Investors are advised to stay cautious and keep a close eye on the market trends.
