That dynamic is no longer a given.D. P. Singh, deputy managing director and joint chief executive officer of SBI Mutual Fund, said that while foreign investors may be selling in parts of the market, they continue to deploy capital through initial public offerings (IPOs) and other asset classes. He was speaking at the annual Mint BFSI Summit last week.

After three straight months of selling since July, foreign investors briefly returned as buyers in October and November, pumping ₹10,167.46 crore and ₹332.76 crore, respectively, into Indian equities. That respite proved fleeting. By 15 December, foreign institutional investors had once again turned net sellers, pulling out ₹12,701.40 crore.
