At one time, the Sensex had fallen about 13,000 points from its high. The FPI buying has supported the indices of late. Indian stock markets outperformed global markets over the past few weeks, as volatility continued to reign in global markets over possible forthcoming US reciprocal tariffs. A comfortable inflation number in India also somewhat supported the domestic equity indices. In 2024, Sensex and Nifty accumulated a growth of about 9-10 per cent each. In 2023, Sensex and Nifty gained 16-17 per cent, on a cumulative basis. In 2022, they gained a mere 3 per cent each. (ANI)

NSDL clocks nearly 5 pc jump in Q4 net profit ahead of IPO
The National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), which is gearing up for its initial public offering (IPO), on Sunday reported a 4.77 per cent increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 83.3 crore for the quarter ending March 2025 (Q4 FY25), up from Rs 79.5 crore in the same quarter last fiscal (Q4 FY24). The NSDL's total income also saw a healthy rise of 9.94 per cent, reaching Rs 394 crore during the quarter compared to Rs 358 crore in January-March 2024 (Q4 FY24). For the full financial year 2024-25, the depository's net profit surged by 24.57 per cent to Rs 343 crore in FY25, while total income grew 12.41 per cent to Rs 1,535 crore compared to the previous year (FY24). The company's board of directors has recommended a final dividend of Rs 2 per equity share for FY 2024-25, which is subject to approval by the shareholders. The NSDL plays a crucial role in the Indian financial system by facilitating the holding and transfer of securities in dematerialised form. Its demat account holders are spread across more than 99 per cent of the pin codes in India and in 186 countries worldwide, supported by over 63,000 service centres across all states and Union Territories during FY24. Ahead of its IPO, the NSDL has reduced the size of the issue. The offer now consists of 5.01 crore shares, down from 5.72 crore shares initially mentioned in its draft prospectus. The IPO is entirely an offer-for-sale (OFS), with shares being sold by existing stakeholders including the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), State Bank of India (SBI), and HDFC Bank. Since it is an OFS, the NSDL will not receive any proceeds from the public issue. The markets regulator SEBI has extended the deadline for NSDL's listing to July 31. This upcoming listing will make the NSDL the country's second publicly traded depository company after the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL), which was listed in 2017.

FPIs pump in Rs 8,831 crore into Indian equities, highest single-day inflow since March
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued their buying streak in Indian equities for the third straight session on Friday, mopping up shares worth Rs 8,831.1 crore -- the highest single-day inflow since March 27, according to provisional data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) released on Saturday. The strong FPI inflow highlights growing foreign investor confidence in Indian markets, especially amid broader global uncertainties. On Thursday, FPIs had bought shares worth Rs 5,746.5 crore, taking the total net inflow so far in May to Rs 18,620 crore. This marks a sharp improvement from April, when overseas investors had net bought Rs 4,223 crore worth of equities, as per National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) data. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) also turned net buyers on Friday after a brief pause, purchasing equities worth Rs 5,187.1 crore. Despite the robust foreign inflows, benchmark indices ended lower on Friday due to profit booking in large-cap stocks. The Nifty slipped 42.30 points or 0.17 per cent to close at 25,019.80, while the Sensex declined 200.15 points or 0.24 per cent to settle at 82,330.59. During the intra-day session, the Nifty had dropped as much as 0.44 per cent to 24,953.05 and the Sensex fell 0.47 per cent to 82,146.95. However, for the week ended May 16, both indices logged strong gains - with the Nifty rising 4.21 per cent and the Sensex climbing 3.62 per cent, marking their best weekly performance since October 2024. According to Nandish Shah, Senior Derivatives and Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, 'Nifty continues to trade above its short-term moving averages, maintaining a bullish trend. The next resistance is seen at 25,207, while support is placed around 24,800.' FPI participation in Indian equities has seen a turnaround in May after a sluggish start to 2025. In the first three months of the year, foreign investors were net sellers -- offloading equities worth Rs 78,027 crore in January, Rs 34,574 crore in February, and Rs 3,973 crore in March.

Foreign investors infuse ₹4,452 crore in Indian equities this week, net investment in May at ₹18,620 crore: NSDL
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made strong investments in the Indian equity markets this week, bringing in ₹4,452.3 crore between May 13 and May 16, according to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). The highest inflows during the week were recorded on Friday (May 16, 2025), when FPIs invested a net amount of ₹5,746 crore in Indian equities. However, the trend was not consistent throughout the week. On Tuesday (May 13, 2025), the markets saw a net outflow of ₹-2,388 crore, indicating some level of uncertainty or profit booking by foreign investors. With this week's inflows, the total FPI investment into Indian equities so far in the month of May has reached ₹18,620 crore. The strong inflows suggest improved investor confidence, possibly driven by easing global concerns, stable domestic growth prospects, or expectations around election results. Despite the positive trend in May, FPIs continue to be net sellers in 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the total net FPI outflow stands at ₹-93,731 crore. This is mainly due to heavy selling during the first three months of the year, January, February, and March, when global uncertainties and rising U.S. bond yields impacted investor sentiment. Net investments by FPIs in Indian equities stood at ₹4,223 crore during April, indicated a turnaround in foreign investment trends. In previous months NSDL data showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth ₹3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth ₹78,027 crore and ₹34,574 crore, respectively. The turnaround in April comes after months of net outflows and reflects renewed investor confidence in the Indian economy. In the last week, the benchmark indices witnessed a promising uptrend rally. The Nifty ends 4.2 percent higher, while the Sensex was up by 2875 points. Among sectors, all the major sectoral indices traded in positive territory, but Defence, Reality, and Capital Market indices outperformed. Defence gained 17%, Capital Market 11.50% and Reality 10.85%.
