Delhi Delhi: Foreign investors showed confidence and invested Rs 18,620 crore so far this month. This is due to a combination of global favorable conditions and improving domestic infrastructure. This positive momentum comes after a net investment of Rs 4,223 crore in April, the first time in three months. Ad It is worth noting that India’s equity markets saw a sharp jump in FPI activity in April. The sustained buying that started in mid-April continued in the current month as well, reflecting the renewed confidence of investors. Ad Earlier, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) had withdrawn Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. According to the data, foreign portfolio investors made a net investment of Rs 18,620 crore in equities this month (till May 16). Total withdrawals so far in 2025 stood at Rs 93,731 crore.
On the other hand, FPIs withdrew Rs 6,748 crore from the debt normal limit and invested Rs 1,193 crore in debt voluntary retention during the period under review. The development comes at a time when foreign investors are adopting a cautious approach towards the Indian bond markets. SEBI also issued a consultation paper proposing certain relaxations/exemptions to FPIs investing in Indian government bonds through the voluntary retention route (VRR) and the fully accessible route (FAR) to provide impetus to the drying bond market.
