FPIs Resume Indian Equity Buying on Earnings and Rupee Stability

FPIs Resume Indian Equity Buying on Earnings and Rupee Stability

Foreign investors bought ₹23,544 crore worth of Indian company shares in August.

They had also bought ₹20,200 crore in July.

This was a change after selling shares for four months in a row.

Better company results and a steadier rupee helped make India’s market look more attractive.

Investors also saw good growth possibilities in smaller and mid-sized companies.

They are buying some mid-cap shares even though those shares may be expensive.

However, foreign investors have still taken more money out of Indian shares than they have put in during 2026.

They bought some debt through one route but sold more through another route.

Investors will also watch oil prices and US-Iran tensions for possible effects on markets.
