FPIs Inject ₹19,675 Crore into Indian Equities in February Amidst Global Optimism

• Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) invested ₹19,675 crore in Indian stock market in the first two weeks of February.
• This surge follows three consecutive months of heavy selling by FPIs, with significant withdrawals in November, December, and January.
• The renewed interest is attributed to reduced global macro concerns, softer US inflation data, and improved risk appetite in emerging markets.
• Experts also link the investment to the US-India trade agreement and a supportive Union Budget for FY 2026-27.
• Despite the overall inflow, FPIs were net sellers in 4 out of 11 trading sessions in February, with a significant sell-off on February 13.
