On February 25, 2025, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth ₹3,529.10 crore in Indian equities, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought shares worth ₹3,030.78 crore, resulting in a net institutional outflow of ₹498.32 crore. This follows a prior report indicating that on February 24, 2025, FIIs had a net sell of ₹6,286.70 crore, with total purchases of ₹7,905.53 crore and sales of ₹14,192.23 crore. Charlie Dutton, Head of Emerging Markets at Manulife Investment Management, expressed optimism that FIIs may return to the Indian markets in the second half of the year as valuations stabilize. Despite recent sell-offs, he views India as a strong investment opportunity. Overall, the net institutional activity reflects ongoing volatility in market sentiment, with FIIs continuing to face challenges due to perceived expensive valuations.
