The inflow comes after FPIs invested Rs 20,200 crore in July, marking a sharp turnaround from four consecutive months of heavy selling and signalling renewed confidence in Indian equities.
FPIs had withdrawn Rs 49,340 crore in June, Rs 32,963 crore in May, Rs 60,847 crore in April and a massive Rs 1.17 lakh crore in March. Prior to this selling streak, they had invested Rs 22,615 crore in February, according to CDSL data.
Despite the recent buying, foreign investors have remained net sellers in Indian equities in 2026, withdrawing around Rs 2.3 lakh crore so far -- exceeding the Rs 1.66 lakh crore outflow registered during the entire 2025.
"The factors that are driving the FPIs back to the Indian market are: earnings growth revival as reflected in Q1 results, FPI withdrawal from the 'chip trade', rupee stability and the impressive growth prospects of companies in the broader market," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said.
Foreign investor interest has also extended to the debt market. They invested Rs 852 crore in debt through the Fully Accessible Route (FAR), while they pulled out Rs 995 crore through the general route during the period under review. PTI
