2026-10-15 · 1 source · CNBC TV18 Market

In short

Foreign investors sold Indian shares worth ₹5,285 crore, while domestic institutions bought ₹3,319 crore. This happened as the Nifty crossed 23,000 intraday and the market rose on heavyweight stocks and IT shares.

The buying from domestic funds helped support the rally. The report does not say why foreign investors sold more.

What the reporting says

Foreign investors stepped up selling of Indian shares from Wednesday, while domestic institutions stayed net buyers and bought ₹3,319 crore. The market rose anyway, with the Nifty crossing 23,000 intraday and gains led by heavyweight stocks and IT shares. The reporting does not state the full period covered by the flows or explain the reason for the foreign selling, leaving the net market implication only partly clear.

Why it matters

Foreign institutional investors sold ₹5,285 crore of Indian shares while domestic institutional investors bought ₹3,319 crore, even as the Nifty crossed 23,000 intraday. The market strength was led by heavyweight stocks and IT shares, but the source does not explain the foreign outflows or the broader period for the flows. The immediate takeaway is mixed fund flow data alongside a rally in benchmark equities.
