Foreign Portfolio Investors (fpis) have returned to Indian equities, injecting nearly Rs 8,500 crore last week, signaling renewed confidence in India's economic resilience. This inflow comes amidst expectations of subdued growth in the U.S. and China, while India is projected to grow at 6 per cent, attracting FPI interest in domestic consumption-led sectors.

Foreign Portfolio Investors have withdrawn a significant Rs 31,575 crore from Indian equity markets in April, influenced by global uncertainties arising from US tariffs. This outflow contributes to a total of Rs 1.48 lakh crore withdrawn in 2025. Experts suggest that India's strong fundamentals and potential for growth may attract fpis back once global market turbulence subsides.

Sebi has eased disclosure norms for foreign portfolio investors (fpis) by raising the asset threshold for granular beneficial ownership disclosures from Rs 25,000 crore to Rs 50,000 crore. fpis holding over Rs 50,000 crore in equity AUM in India must now disclose detailed ownership information. The new framework takes effect immediately.

Foreign investors have withdrawn Rs 10,355 crore from India's equity markets following new US tariffs. This outflow reverses the trend of a previous Rs 30,927 crore investment. The tariffs raise concerns of a trade war and economic slowdown, impacting global markets. fpis also pulled Rs 556 crore from debt and Rs 4,038 crore from the debt voluntary retention route.

Dalal Street faces a truncated trading week influenced by tariff developments, US bond yields, FPI activity, and corporate earnings. Volatility is expected to persist despite potential easing in the US-China trade war. Investors will closely monitor Infosys, Wipro, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank results after TCS's underwhelming performance, alongside commodity market trends, particularly Goldman Sachs' revised gold price target.

Indian markets concluded the week with significant gains, fueled by returning foreign investment and easing inflation. The Sensex and Nifty surged over 6% in four sessions, boosting investor wealth substantially. A favorable monsoon forecast and the RBI's accommodative stance further contributed to the market's positive momentum.

Indian markets experienced a downturn on Thursday, ending a week-long upward trend, with Sensex and Nifty plunging in early trade. This decline occurred despite positive closes on Wednesday. The downturn contrasts with gains in most Asian markets, which were influenced by US-Japan trade talks.

After Monday's significant losses, the Indian stock market rebounded strongly, fueled by positive global cues and short covering. The Sensex surged by 1.5%, and the Nifty by 1.7%, adding substantial wealth to investors. However, analysts advise caution, citing ongoing trade negotiations and FPI selling, with RBI's interest rate decision expected to influence future trading.

Foreign investors withdrew Rs 10,355 crore from India's equity markets in the last four trading sessions this month due to the US imposing sweeping tariffs, including on India. This outflow followed a significant net investment of Rs 30,927 crore during the six trading sessions from March 21 to March 28.

Dalal Street saw a significant decline as the escalating trade war caused investor sentiment to fall. US tariffs led to a 34% retaliatory tariff by China, resulting in a sharp decrease in sensex and Nifty, with intense selling affecting auto, metal, and pharma stocks.

The Supreme Court has declined to consider Mahua Moitra's plea to disclose details of alternate investment funds and foreign portfolio investors in India's stock market, directing her to first approach Sebi. The Court allowed Moitra to present her concerns to Sebi and seek legal remedies if her representation is not addressed within a reasonable timeframe.

Mumbai's sensex dropped nearly 1,400 points on Tuesday, closing at 76,025 due to concerns over Trump's tariffs. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, RIL, and Infosys significantly contributed to the decline. Foreign funds were heavy sellers, while domestic investors bought shares. The day's downturn erased Rs 3.

Domestic investors engaged in profit-booking following seven days of gains, causing the sensex to drop by 729 points and the Nifty to lose 189 points. Market analysts attribute this to forthcoming US tariff announcements and sectoral impacts, especially in pharma and IT, despite foreign investors' net buying signals market stability.

FIIs were net sellers of Rs 1,27,401 crore in FY2025, but selling eased in March. DIIs bought Rs 6,06,368 crore throughout the year. The change in FII strategy in March contributed to Nifty's gains. SEBI's new threshold for beneficial ownership disclosures and RBI's increased investment cap aim to boost market liquidity.
