FPI Inflow Hits 17-Month High at Rs 22,615 Cr in Feb, Boosted by Trade Deal
•Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) infused Rs 22,615 crore into Indian equities in February, marking the highest monthly inflow in 17 months.
•The surge was driven by the interim India-US trade deal, correction in domestic market valuations, and robust third-quarter corporate earnings.
•This follows three consecutive months of heavy selling, with FPIs withdrawing Rs 35,962 crore in January, Rs 22,611 crore in December, and Rs 3,765 crore in November.
•Overall, FPIs have withdrawn a net Rs 1.66 lakh crore (USD 18.9 billion) from Indian equities in 2025, making it one of the worst periods for foreign flows.
•FPIs were aggressive buyers in financials and capital goods but pared exposure to the IT sector due to concerns over AI-led disruption.
