FPIs invest ₹14,590 crore in June; early July sees withdrawal
However, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in July and pulled out ₹1,421 crore in the first week of the month, data with the depositories showed.
Going forward, in the near term, FPI flows are expected to remain choppy on account of tariff deadline developments and U.S. data volatility, Vaqarjaved Khan, Senior Fundamental Analyst, Angel One, said.
In addition, FPIs buying will hinge on Q1FY26 result indications. "If the results indicate earnings recovery, that will be positive. Disappointment on these factors can impact the market and, thereby, flows," V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said.
According to the data with the depositories, FPIs made a net investment of ₹14,590 crore in equities in June.
This positive momentum follows a net investment of ₹19,860 crore in May and₹4,223 crore in April. Prior to this, FPIs had pulled out ₹3,973 crore in March, ₹34,574 crore in February, and a substantial ₹78,027 crore in January.
With this, FPIs' outflow stood at ₹79,322 crore in 2025 so far.
"FPIs exhibited a cautious yet improving stance in June 2025, beginning the month with notable outflows from the equity markets driven by elevated US bond yields, trade tensions, overvalued Indian stocks and deteriorating geopolitical environment," Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said.
However, sentiment shifted towards the later part of the month as global liquidity conditions improved, geopolitical tensions eased, the RBI cut rates, the rupee strengthened, and oil prices stabilised, he added.
In the second half of June, FPIs were buyers in financials, autos and auto components, and oil and gas sectors, while they turned sellers in capital goods and power.
On the other hand, FPIs pulled out ₹6,121 crore from the debt general limit and ₹6,366 crore from the debt voluntary retention route during the period under review.

Stock Market Updates: GIFT Nifty Signals A Muted Start For Sensex, Nifty; HCL Tech In Focus
Last Updated: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are expected to be impacted on the first trading day of the week by multiple factors Sensex Today: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are likely to open under pressure on the first trading day of the week, weighed by a host of global and domestic factors. Key triggers include India's June inflation data (both WPI and CPI), HCL Technologies' Q1 earnings, fresh trade tensions sparked by the US, China's June trade numbers, institutional flows, primary market activity, and overall weak global cues. India's consumer price index (CPI)-based inflation is expected to have declined further in June, staying below the Reserve Bank of India's 4 per cent target for the fifth consecutive month. Economists cite easing prices, especially in the food segment, along with a favourable base effect, as the main reasons. Retail inflation hit a 75-month low of 2.82 per cent in May, down from 5.08 per cent a year ago in June 2024. Global Cues Global markets started the week on a cautious note, largely reacting to a fresh wave of trade concerns. Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump announced a 30 per cent tariff on imports from the European Union and Mexico, effective August 1. The declaration, made via his platform Truth Social, has raised fears of a renewed trade war. While both the EU and Mexican leadership signaled willingness to negotiate, uncertainty looms over potential outcomes. There was a bright spot from Singapore, where GDP grew 4.3 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter, up from 3.9 per cent in Q1 and above the 3.5 per cent forecast. Quarter-on-quarter, the economy expanded by 1.4 per cent, bouncing back from a 0.5 per cent contraction—signaling economic resilience. In Asia, markets traded mixed. Japan's Nikkei was down 0.39 per cent, and the broader Topix slipped 0.34 per cent. Australia's ASX 200 dipped 0.14 per cent, while South Korea's Kospi defied the trend, rising 0.53 per cent. US futures were also in the red during Asian hours. Dow Jones futures fell 0.63 per cent, S&P 500 futures dropped 0.33 per cent, and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.22 per cent. Wall Street had closed lower on Friday. The Dow Jones lost 279.13 points (0.63%) to settle at 44,371.51. The S&P 500 declined 0.33 per cent to 6,259.75, and the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.22 per cent to finish at 20,585.53—capping a downbeat week for US equities. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 09:14 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
