Foreign portfolio investors (FPI) invested ₹38,673 crore in Indian equities in the first quarter of the current financial year, data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) showed.
The FPIs started buying Indian shares in the first quarter of the current fiscal year after they sold shares worth ₹1,16,574 crore in the first three months of the year.
The sustained selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs), which started in October last year, saw them offload stocks worth ₹1.7 lakh crore.
Meanwhile, Indian equity valuations became attractive following the correction, and FIIs showed renewed faith in India’s strong macro fundamentals, notably robust GDP growth and supportive government policies.
Stronger-than-expected Q4FY25 earnings, especially in banking and financials, improved confidence in corporate outlooks, analysts said. The Reserve Bank of India’s rate cuts further added to the impetus, analysts added.
The FIIs increased their shareholding in the company to 62.58% at the end of the June quarter. They had a 57.83% stake in the company in the same period last year. FIIs have been increasing their stake in the company consistently every quarter.
They had a 60.57% stake in the company in the previous quarter.
FIIs held a 23.58% stake in the previous quarter and a 20.55% stake during the June quarter of 2024.
The FIIs have increased their stake in the stock exchange from 11.09% at the end of the June quarter of last year to 18.14% at the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year. In the previous quarter FIIs had a 16.78% stake in the company.
