Overview

• Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 8,472 crore in Indian equities during the holiday-shortened week ending April 18, 2025.
• This marks a shift after cumulative outflows of Rs 1.4 lakh crore since January 2025, including Rs 23,103 crore withdrawn in April so far.
• The inflows were partially attributed to a weakening US dollar, which has made emerging markets like India more attractive to investors.
• India's forecasted 6% growth in FY26, outpacing subdued projections for the US and China, has bolstered its appeal to global investors.
• FPIs are expected to focus on domestic consumption-driven sectors such as financials, telecom, aviation, cement, autos, and healthcare.
