foreign investors
The Bharatiya stock market was a great rise last week. Foreign investors played an important role in this. After a long time, foreign investors have shopped in the stock market. Foreign portfolio investors (FPI) invested around Rs 8,500 crore in domestic stock markets last week. This investment indicates positive changes in investment perception after selling in the beginning of the month. The hope of ending the trade war and India’s strong economy has increased the trust of investors.
According to depository data, FPI purely invested Rs 8,472 crore in Indian shares in the week ended April 18. However, on 15 April, he withdrew Rs 2,352 crore, but in the next two trading sessions, he invested Rs 10,824 crore.
Investment perception is improving
Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director (Manager Research) of Morningstar Investment, says that FPI activities recently indicated that investment perception is improving. However, the stability of this flow will primarily depend on global economic status, US trade policies and India’s economic growth. From 15 to 17 April last week, only three days Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday markets remained open. The markets remained closed due to Ambedkar Jayanti on Monday and Good Friday on Friday.
Status so far in April
The FPI has so far done a net withdrawal of Rs 23,103 crore in the month of April. With this, since the beginning of the year 2025, the total withdrawal of FPI has reached Rs 1.4 lakh crore. Srivastava said that in the first part of April, the aggressive selling by the FPI was seen as a reaction to the fee levied by the US on several countries. However, FPI’s interest has increased again due to India’s economic strength, improvement in global trade and recent improvement in stock markets.
India’s strength is attracting
The main investment strategist V.K. According to Vijaykumar, the FPIs are moving from America to emerging markets like India due to a decline in dollar index and dollar weakness. Both the US and China are expected to have a slow growth this year, while India’s growth rate is estimated to be six percent in 2025-26. This is a positive sign for stock markets.
FPI situation has been as follows in last months
March: Rs 3,973 crore withdrawn February: 34,574 crore withdrawn January: Heavy withdrawal of Rs 78,027 crore
Now in April, the situation seems to be improving, which is expected that the interest of foreign investors may remain in India in the coming times.
