Foreign investors turn net buyers in Indian equities after three months of outflows

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) turned net buyers in October 2025, infusing ₹6,480 crore into Indian equities—the first monthly inflow since July. The shift follows easing U.S. yields, rupee stability, and strong domestic corporate earnings. FPIs favored financials, IT, and capital-goods stocks while trimming exposure to FMCG. Analysts say optimism over a possible India–U.S. trade deal and moderating oil prices lifted sentiment. Cumulative equity inflows now exceed ₹1.4 lakh crore for CY2025, underlining India’s resilience amid global volatility.
