FPI holding hits multi-year lows in 70% of top 100 Indian companies

Foreign investors have significantly reduced their holdings in nearly 70% of India's leading companies in recent years. This decline in foreign ownership is particularly concerning for major firms, including banks and IT sectors, which are seeing their foreign ownership decline to multi-decade lows. The decrease in foreign investments mirrors diminished expectations for growth in India relative to other global markets, which could have significant implications for the economy and markets. This trend may also impact the performance of Indian indices such as the Sensex and the Nifty 50.
