FPIs lap up finance capital goods stocks in the first half of May
"The double-digit credit growth is aiding the buying interest in banking stocks. There is no other Nifty sector posting double-digit growth in key business parameters. Capital goods stocks were beaten down, and that explains the buying in the sector,' said Chokkalingam G, founder of Equinomics.
Meanwhile, FMCG ( ₹1,057 crore) and realty (₹842 crore) bore the brunt of the FPIs selling in the first two weeks of this month. Power (₹720 crore), consumer durables ( ₹622 crore) and healthcare (₹606 crore) were the other sectors where FPIs sold shares.
Despite buying the sectoral allocation for financial services, it is down to 31.46 per cent as of March 15 from 31.8 per cent on April 30. However, financial services have the highest sectoral allocation.
Information Technology has the second highest sectoral allocation at 8.47 per cent from 8.17 per cent on April 30, followed by oil, gas & consumable fuels at 7.33 per cent from 7.31 per cent. FPIs were net buyers to ₹12,847 crore in the first half of May.

FPIs pullout ₹17741 cr from Indian equities in July, high selling this week turns July investment negative: NSDL
New Delhi [India], August 2 (ANI): Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in the Indian equity market in July, with a total outflow of ₹ -17,741 crore, according to data released by NSDL. This marks the first month of negative investment by FPIs after three consecutive months of positive inflows during April, May, and June. The sharp reversal in sentiment was driven by a sudden surge in selling during the last week of July. Between 28 July and 1 August, foreign investors pulled out ₹ 17,390.6 crore from Indian equities, which significantly impacted the overall monthly numbers and pushed July's investment into negative territory. The recent selling pressure is largely due to the fresh reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States, which has impacted India among several other countries. These tariffs have raised concerns over global trade stability and investor sentiment, prompting FPIs to reassess their exposure in markets. The data also highlighted that May saw the highest FPI inflows so far in 2025, while January witnessed the largest sell-off, with net selling of ₹ -78,027 crore. With the recent selling in July, the total net outflow by FPIs in the calendar year 2025 has now crossed ₹ -1,01,795 crore. The reversal in FPI trend raises concerns for the Indian equity market, which had been witnessing strong support from foreign investors in the previous months. However, the global economic developments like reciprocal tariffs by US President Trump and geopolitical tensions between US and Russia will continue to influence FPI behavior in the coming weeks. In the previous month of June, FPIs had made a net investment of ₹ 14,590 crore in the Indian equity segment. In May, foreign investors poured in ₹ 19,860 crore, making it the best-performing month of the year so far in terms of FPI inflows.

FPI flows reverse: Foreign investors pull Rs 17,741 crore from equities in July; US tariffs trigger sharp selloff in last week of month
AI image Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in the Indian equity market in July, pulling out Rs 17,741 crore amid rising global trade tensions. According to data from NSDL, this marked the first month of net outflows after three straight months of positive inflows between April and June. The reversal in trend was driven by heavy selling in the final week of the month. Between July 28 and August 1, foreign investors withdrew Rs 17,390.6 crore from Indian equities — almost the entire monthly outflow, ANI reported. The sudden pullback is being attributed to the recent reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States, which impacted India among other trading partners. These measures have raised concerns over global trade stability and prompted foreign investors to reassess exposure to emerging markets like India. With the sharp July selloff, total net FPI outflows in the 2025 calendar year have now crossed Rs 1,01,795 crore. May had seen the highest monthly inflow by FPIs so far this year, with Rs 19,860 crore pouring into Indian stocks. In contrast, January had recorded the largest single-month sell-off, with net outflows of Rs 78,027 crore. June had registered net FPI inflows worth Rs 14,590 crore. However, March and February had seen withdrawals of Rs 3,973 crore and Rs 34,574 crore respectively. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
