May sees record Rs 19,860 crore FPI inflow, highest in 2025: NSDL
NEW DELHI: Foreign portfolio investments in Indian markets reached record levels in May 2025, as confirmed by National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) statistics, quoted by ANI. The month recorded net FPI inflows of Rs 19,860 crore, establishing May as the strongest month for foreign investments in 2025. The period from May 26 to May 30 saw foreign investors maintain their investment momentum with net inflows of Rs 6,024.77 crore. While positive inflows characterised most trading days that week, Friday registered a net outflow of Rs 1,758.23 crore. Although May demonstrated robust performance, the cumulative FPI investment for 2025 remains negative. The period from January through May shows net outflows of Rs 92,491 crore. Nevertheless, the substantial May inflows suggest a possible shift in foreign investor confidence. The uptick in FPI activity correlates with the declining US dollar value and positive developments in the Indian stock market. The robust economic foundations of India continue drawing international investors, although FPI flows remain responsive to international circumstances and external challenges. Whilst the year commenced cautiously, the positive May figures might indicate a directional change, provided global conditions maintain stability. Earlier data indicated FPI stock sales of Rs 3,973 crore in March. January and February witnessed equity sales of Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively. The final trading day of May saw the Indian stock market close marginally lower, influenced by varied global indicators. The Sensex decreased by 182 points (0.22 per cent) to 81,451.01, whilst the Nifty 50 settled at 24,750.70, down 83 points (0.33 per cent).

FPI net investment in May surged to record high of Rs 19860 crore, highest in 2025: NSDL
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 31 (ANI): Foreign investment in Indian markets reached a record high in May 2025, according to data released by the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL). The net foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows for the month stood at Rs 19,860 crore, making May the best-performing month so far this year in terms of foreign investment. During the week from May 26 to May 30, foreign investors continued their buying spree with a net inflow of Rs 6,024.77 crore. The data showed that all trading days of the week witnessed positive inflows, except Friday, when there was a net outflow of Rs -1,758.23 crore. Despite this strong monthly performance, the overall FPI investment in 2025 remains in negative territory. From January to May, the net outflows stand at Rs -92,491 crore. However, the sharp inflows seen in May are being viewed as a sign of a potential turnaround in foreign investor sentiment. The recent rebound in FPI activity has been attributed to the weakness in the US dollar and the improving outlook of the Indian stock market. India's strong economic fundamentals continue to attract global investors, even though FPI movements remain sensitive to global factors and external headwinds. The year began on a cautious note, the positive momentum in May could mark the beginning of a trend reversal if global conditions remain stable. In previous months' data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth Rs 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively. On Friday the last trading session of May, the Indian stock market ended slightly lower tracking mixed global cues. The Sensex closed 182 points, or 0.22 per cent, lower at 81,451.01, while the Nifty 50 settled 24,750.70, 83 points, or 0.33 per cent. (ANI)

FPIs pull out Rs 4,784 crore from Indian equities this week amid volatile bond market
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 24 (ANI): Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in the Indian equity markets this week, offloading shares worth Rs 4,784.32 crore between May 19 and May 23, according to data released by the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL). This selling has significantly reduced the net inflows for the month of May. As of this week, the total FPI investment in May stands at Rs 13,835 crore, down from Rs 18,620 crore recorded till the previous week. This indicates that nearly Rs 4,800 crore of investments were pulled out by foreign investors in just five trading sessions. The sharpest selling was witnessed on Wednesday, May 21, when FPIs sold shares worth over Rs 10,000 crore in a single day. However, the week had started on a positive note, with good inflows recorded on Monday and Tuesday. With this week's outflows, the cumulative net investment by foreign investors in Indian equities for the year 2025 now stands at a net outflow of Rs 98,516 crore. The data indicates that foreign funds continue to remain cautious amid global uncertainty. Experts suggest that this selling trend may not be due to any fundamental issues within the Indian markets, but more likely reflects external pressures. One key reason could be the ongoing turmoil in global bond markets. Ajay Bagga Banking and Market told ANI 'This one of an up down flow points to the turmoil in global bond markets impacting leveraged funds or carry trade funds to pull out some profits from the Indian markets to cover liquidity needs elsewhere'. He further added, 'Another possibility is the gaming of option pricing by FPIs who came to move option premiums by buying and selling the underlying shares in the cash markets. That may explain why index heavyweights saw selling on particular days and why sharp reversals happened in the markets on two days' Analysts are viewing these outflows as instances of 'hot money' movement, quick, speculative investments, rather than any sign of weakening fundamentals in the Indian economy. The NSDL data further highlighted that net investments by FPIs in Indian equities stood at Rs 4,223 crore during April, indicated a turnaround in foreign investment trends. In previous months data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth Rs 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively.
