Foreign Portfolio Investors Pump Rs 18,620 Crore Into Indian Equities in May Despite Rs 94,000 Crore Outflow, Domestic Inflows Cushion Impact

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have invested approximately Rs 18,620 crore in Indian equities during May 2025, supported by positive global trends and improving domestic economic fundamentals. This inflow reflects a continued interest in the Indian stock market despite recent volatility. However, the market also experienced a historic outflow, with over Rs 94,000 crore withdrawn by foreign institutional investors in a single month. The resilience of the Indian equity market amid these fluctuations has been attributed to steady inflows from domestic institutional investors, which have helped cushion the impact of the foreign investor pullout. Industry reports, including one from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), highlight that investors have maintained a long-term commitment to their financial goals despite market volatility.
