Domestic Investors Overtake Foreigners in Indian Equity Market
Imagine that more money in the Indian stock market now comes from Indian investors, like mutual funds and insurance companies.
They now control more money than investors from other countries.
This change happened because people are investing regularly through programs like SIPs, and also because of tax breaks.
Even though some big company stocks lost value, money kept flowing in, making the Indian market stronger and more influenced by local investors.
Domestic mutual funds and insurers now control more equity wealth than foreign investors.
Domestic institutions held ₹72.67 lakh crore in equity assets as of July 2025.
Foreign portfolio investors held ₹71.96 lakh crore in equity assets as of July 2025.
Domestic equity holdings increased by ₹4.17 lakh crore in the past 12 months.
Retail inflows, fueled by SIPs and tax incentives, have driven the shift.
