FPI inflows hit a high
Despite the pressure from elevated US yields, strong foreign capital flows helped cushion domestic equities. Foreign portfolio investors stepped up purchases and invested a net ₹23,544 crore in August so far (up to 21 August), according to data from National Securities Depository Ltd. This surpassed February’s ₹22,615 crore, marking the highest monthly inflow of 2026 and the largest since September 2024, when FPIs poured in ₹57,724 crore.
