Despite the positive market movement, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers, offloading ₹4,488.45 crore in the cash segment on March 17, 2025, with gross purchases of ₹11,262.99 crore and gross sales of ₹15,751.44 crore. On the other hand, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continued their strong buying streak, recording net purchases of ₹6,000.60 crore, with gross purchases of ₹12,726.10 crore and gross sales of ₹6,725.50 crore.
For the month of March 2025 (MTD), FIIs have recorded a significant net outflow of ₹25,719.70 crore, with gross purchases of ₹1,06,353.78 crore and gross sales of ₹1,32,073.48 crore, indicating persistent selling pressure. In contrast, DIIs have absorbed this supply, recording a net inflow of ₹32,450.96 crore, supported by gross purchases of ₹1,24,732.91 crore and gross sales of ₹92,281.95 crore.
The market's resilience amid heavy FII selling suggests strong domestic participation and robust institutional support from DIIs. Further price action will depend on FII positioning and global market cues.
