FII exodus continues as mkt logs losses for 7th day

Sensex, Nifty decline more than 3% each in the past 7 sessions

- 

FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL investors (FIIs) have been selling aggressively this year, offloading over 2 lakh crore in equities, including 33,000 crore just in September. By September 26, their total sell-off in the cash market reached nearly ₹2 lakh crore. Last week alone, FIIs sold shares worth ₹19,550 crore and continued as net sellers on Monday with ₹2,805 crore more offloaded.

However, FII participation in primary markets remains strong, with around ₹48,000 crore invested in IPOs so far in 2025. Experts say FIIs are exiting India due to high equity valuations, better opportunities abroad, especially in China, sluggish earnings growth and ongoing geopolitical risks.
