Foreign investors accelerate exits as equity selling intensifies in 2025
Sustained foreign selling has taken FII equity outflows to ₹1.58 lakh crore in 2025, reflecting global risk aversion, higher US yields, and shifting asset allocation priorities.
Foreign institutional investors have significantly scaled back exposure to Indian equities in 2025, pushing net sales to ₹1.58 lakh crore so far. Persistent outflows were driven by higher US bond yields, a stronger dollar, and relative valuation concerns in domestic markets. Risk aversion increased during global uncertainty, prompting FIIs to reallocate toward developed markets. Despite the heavy selling, domestic institutional inflows and retail participation helped cushion benchmark indices from sharper declines.
