Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) injected a net ₹17,227 crore into the Indian stock market in July, ending a four-month streak of net outflows, according to NSDL data up to July 22, 2026. This inflow marks a significant reversal in investor sentiment after consecutive months of selling pressure.
The inflows were concentrated in sectors such as healthcare and metals, which emerged as key beneficiaries of the renewed FPI interest. Conversely, sectors like automobiles and capital goods continued to face challenges, reflecting a selective approach by foreign investors. The data was reported by livemint.com, highlighting the sectoral shifts within the broader market recovery.
This return of FPIs is notable given the prior four-month period of sustained outflows, which had weighed on market performance. The inflow of ₹17,227 crore compares with previous months where FPIs had withdrawn capital, underscoring a potential shift in global investor appetite for Indian equities. However, concerns remain about the impact of rising crude oil prices, which could influence future FPI activity and market dynamics.
The net inflow figure of ₹17,227 crore through July 22, 2026, as reported by NSDL and covered by livemint.com, provides a concrete measure of foreign investor confidence returning to Indian equities after a prolonged period of selling.
