India's Trade Deals Attract Foreign Investors: 18,000 Crore Inflow in February

• Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) infused over 18,000 crore rupees (over $2 billion) into Indian equities in February, driven by recent major trade deals.
• FIIs were net buyers in 9 out of 9 trading sessions in February, reflecting renewed confidence in the Indian market.
• Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) also actively purchased equities worth over 8,973 crore rupees, with their Nifty50 shareholding now surpassing FIIs.
• The shift is attributed to consistent mutual fund SIP inflows, increased retail participation, and stable policies, reducing reliance on volatile foreign investment.
• India-US trade agreement framework, RBI's accommodative policy, GDP recovery, and strong earnings potential further boosted investor confidence.
