FPIs Pull Out ₹17,741 Crore From Indian Equities in July
Foreign investors, called FPIs, sold off a lot of stocks in India in July.
This means they took their money out of the Indian stock market.
It's the first time in a few months that they haven't put money in.
The main reason seems to be new taxes and tariffs that the US is putting on other countries, including India.
This makes investors nervous, so they decided to sell.
In the past, there were months where investors put in a lot of money, but overall this year, more money has been taken out than put in, causing concern for the Indian stock market.
FPIs became net sellers in the Indian equity market in July, with a ₹17,741 crore outflow.
This is the first month of negative investment after three months of positive inflows.
A surge in selling during the last week of July significantly impacted monthly figures.
Recent selling pressure is attributed to reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States.
Total net outflow by FPIs in 2025 has now exceeded ₹1,01,795 crore.
