FPIs in selling spree, offload 44% of August inflows in 10 days

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have been selling Indian equities, and in the past 10 days, they offloaded 44% of the money they had invested in August. This selling spree is part of a larger trend, as FPIs have been net sellers of Indian equities for most of 2026. Their cumulative net outflow from the stock market has reached a significant amount, which could impact market sentiment and potentially lead to volatility in the Indian stock market.

Why it matters

Foreign investors are selling Indian stocks, which could lead to a decrease in market confidence. This outflow of funds may negatively impact the Indian stock market, causing a decline in investor sentiment.
