FPI Flows: Sector Rotation Back in Focus
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) remain cautious on Indian equities. After steady outflows in July–September 2025, a brief inflow in October proved short-lived, as selling resumed in November.
Flow Snapshot
July–Sept 2025: FPIs withdrew over ₹60,000 crore, led by exits in IT, Financials, and Healthcare.
October 2025: ₹14,600 crore came in, driven largely by IPO participation.
November 2025: Early data shows renewed selling of around ₹12,000 crore.
Sector View
IT & Financials: Heavy outflows amid global tech slowdown and valuation concerns.
Healthcare & FMCG: Profit booking continued through September.
Metals & Capital Goods: Attracted selective inflows backed by domestic demand optimism.
What’s Driving It
Global risk-off sentiment, high valuations, and rising U.S. yields kept foreign investors defensive. October’s inflow was mainly IPO-driven, not broad-based buying.
Outlook
FPIs are rotating towards domestic cyclicals while trimming exposure to export-linked sectors. Sustained inflows may return only when global stability improves and valuations cool further.
