FPIs Pull ₹3.04 Lakh Crore From Indian Equities in 2026

Foreign investors have taken ₹3.04 lakh crore out of Indian stocks so far in 2026.

In October alone, they withdrew ₹44,166 crore.

They had also sold shares in September, although they bought shares in July and August.

Reports say higher oil prices, a stronger US dollar and high US bond yields may make other investments more attractive.

One report also says the AI-driven rise in North Asian markets drew foreign money.

The selling has put pressure on Indian markets.

Indian institutions have continued buying shares, which has helped support them.

The Nifty was down 13.87% so far this year, according to one article.
