Foreign investors infuse Rs 17,425 crore in Indian equity markets during April 21 to 25
Mumbai : Foreign investors have infused Rs 17,425 crore in the country's equity markets last week, supported by a combination of favourable global cues and strong domestic macroeconomic fundamentals.
This came following a net investment of Rs 8,500 crore in the preceding holiday-truncated week ended April 18.
Globally, steady performances in major markets, expectations of a pause in US Federal Reserve's rate hikes, and a stable US dollar boosted risk appetite for emerging markets like India. Easing global trade tensions further lifted investor sentiment, Himanshu Srivastava, Associate director - Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said.
Domestically, India's resilient growth outlook, moderating inflation, and an optimistic forecast of an above-normal monsoon for 2025 enhanced confidence in the market. Together, these factors created an attractive investment environment for foreign investors, he added.
According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 17,425 crore in equities during April 21 to April 25.
Overall, FPIs pulled out Rs 5,678 crore from the equities in April so far, taking the total outflow to Rs 1.22 lakh crore since the beginning of 2025, data showed.
The initial part of the month was marked by aggressive FPI selling, driven largely by global uncertainties stemming from the US tariff policy developments.
This reversal in FPI activity happened at a time of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attacks.
