Foreign funds inflow into Indian equities continued as Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made strong investments in the Indian equity markets this week, bringing in Rs 4,452.3 crore between May 13 and May 16, as per the data available with the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). The highest inflows during the week were recorded on Friday, when FPIs invested a net amount of Rs 5,746 crore in Indian equities. However, the trend was not consistent throughout the week. On Tuesday, the markets saw a net outflow of Rs 2,388 crore, indicating some level of uncertainty or profit booking by foreign investors. With this week’s inflows, the total FPI investment into Indian equities so far in the month of May has reached Rs 18,620 crore. The strong inflows suggest improved investor confidence, possibly driven by easing global concerns, stable domestic growth prospects, or expectations around election results. Despite the positive trend in May, FPIs continue to be net sellers in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the total net FPI outflow stands at Rs 93,731 crore. This is mainly due to heavy selling during the first three months of the year, January, February, and March, when global uncertainties and rising U.S. bond yields impacted investor sentiment.
