Foreign Investors Pull ₹13,138 Crore From Indian Equities Amid Global Uncertainty

Foreign investors took ₹13,138 crore out of Indian stocks during the first two weeks of September.

They became more cautious because oil prices rose, US bond yields increased and the US dollar strengthened.

Experts said these pressures were mostly global rather than caused by problems in India.

Investors had bought Indian shares in July and August.

However, they had sold shares during the four months before that.

The total amount taken out of Indian shares in 2026 is now higher than the amount withdrawn during all of 2025.

Foreign investors also removed money from some parts of India's debt market.

Experts said future investment could depend on the Iran-US conflict, oil prices and whether US interest rates and bond yields rise further.
