FPIs pour ₹55,524 crore into IPOs as selloff hits ₹3.15 trillion
In short
Foreign investors put ₹55,524 crore into the primary market in 2026, even as they sold ₹3.15 trillion in the secondary market by September. The reports say this is the third year in a row that IPO interest has stayed strong.
This matters because it shows investors are still backing new share sales even while dumping existing stocks. The reporting does not say whether this pattern will continue.
What the reporting says
FPIs invested ₹55,524 crore in the primary market in 2026 even as secondary-market selling reached a record ₹3.15 trillion by September, according to publisher summaries. The numbers point to continued appetite for IPOs despite heavy stock selling. What is still unknown is whether this split in flows will persist beyond the current year or reverse later.
Why it matters
FPIs invested ₹55,524 crore in IPO and other primary-market deals in 2026 while selling a record ₹3.15 trillion in the secondary market through September, based on publisher summaries. That suggests continued support for new listings even amid broad stock-market selling. The reporting does not explain the drivers behind the split or whether the trend will continue into year-end.
