FPI inflows into equities at 8-month high in May 2025
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) invested ₹19,860 crore, the highest in eight months, in May, according to data from NSDL. Foreign investors invested five times more than they invested in the previous month into Indian equities. The FPI investments came in positive for the second consecutive month in May after recording a net outflow for three consecutive months. This assumes significance as at the beginning of the calendar year 2025 and the better part of FY25, foreign investors were net sellers of Indian equity. The increase in foreign investor inflows came on the top of increasing returns in the domestic markets. Nifty increased 6% in March 2025, the highest in monthly return since July 2024. A combination of correction from the post-COVID rally, and the uncertainty around U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies contributed to the net selling as foreign funds invested in U.S. bonds and exited the Asian stock markets due to tariff uncertainty. Liberation Day tariffs further increased the uncertainty as major economies were expected to be hit. The 90-day pause, however, cooled the uncertainty and with a trade deal between the U.S. and India imminent, market confidence returned to India. At the domestic level, a less-volatile rupee, softening inflation and improving GDP growth has led to the return of foreign money into the Indian equity market. This moderation in global risks to India's growth and improving state of domestic economic indicators may have instilled confidence in foreign investors, according to analysts
