Foreign investors have continued withdrawing from Indian equities, with net outflows reaching Rs 27,048 crore so far this month. The selling spree reflects the cautious stance among global investors amid shifting global macroeconomic conditions and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Data from the NSDL shows that Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have pulled out a total of Rs 2.2 lakh crore from Indian equity markets in 2026 so far. This is already higher than the Rs 1.66 lakh crore withdrawn during the whole of 2025.
