FPIs flip back to buying: ₹16,621 crore into Indian stocks in early August
Foreign investors poured ₹16,621 crore into Indian equities in the first half of August, following ₹20,200 crore in July and ending four straight months of heavy selling (March-June totalled roughly ₹2.6 lakh crore). Drivers: cheaper relative valuations, resilient earnings and expected US rate cuts, though FPIs remain net sellers in 2026.
