FPIs sold over Rs 25,000 crore of Indian equities in September
In short
FPIs sold more than Rs 25,000 crore of Indian stocks in September. Reported reasons were higher US bond yields, expensive crude and a weaker rupee.
This matters because foreign buying can support Indian markets. It is not yet clear how fast those investors will return, or whether yields, oil, currency and earnings will improve enough.
What the reporting says
FPIs sold more than Rs 25,000 crore of Indian equities in September, as surging US bond yields, elevated crude prices and a weaker rupee hurt India’s appeal. The reported factors point to pressure on foreign inflows rather than a company-specific event. The immediate question is whether cooling yields and oil, currency stability, strong Q2 earnings and attractive valuations will bring investors back.
