Influx of ₹14,590 cr by foreign investors in Jun; early Jul sees withdrawal
However, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in July and pulled out Rs 1,421 crore in the first week of the month, data with the depositories showed.
Going forward, in the near term, FPI flows are expected to remain choppy on account of tariff deadline developments and US data volatility, Vaqarjaved Khan, Senior Fundamental Analyst, Angel One, said.
In addition, FPIs buying will hinge on Q1FY26 result indications. "If the results indicate earnings recovery, that will be positive. Disappointment on these factors can impact the market and, thereby, flows," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, said.
According to the data with the depositories, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 14,590 crore in equities in June.
This positive momentum follows a net investment of Rs 19,860 crore in May and Rs 4,223 crore in April. Prior to this, FPIs had pulled out Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February, and a substantial Rs 78,027 crore in January.
With this, FPIs' outflow stood at Rs 79,322 crore in 2025 so far.
"FPIs exhibited a cautious yet improving stance in June 2025, beginning the month with notable outflows from the equity markets driven by elevated US bond yields, trade tensions, overvalued Indian stocks and deteriorating geopolitical environment," Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said.
However, sentiment shifted towards the later part of the month as global liquidity conditions improved, geopolitical tensions eased, the RBI cut rates, the rupee strengthened, and oil prices stabilised, he added.
In the second half of June, FPIs were buyers in financials, autos and auto components, and oil and gas sectors, while they turned sellers in capital goods and power.
On the other hand, FPIs pulled out Rs 6,121 crore from the debt general limit and Rs 6,366 crore from the debt voluntary retention route during the period under review.

Fresh plan in the works to promote Indian ships for higher cargo share
India is preparing a new plan. This plan aims to boost Indian ships. The current scheme is likely to miss targets. The government wants to be a key maritime player. Consultations identify demand for 200 new ships. These ships are worth ₹1.3 lakh crore. The petroleum, steel, and fertiliser sectors need them. The goal is to increase Indian-flagged ships. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Transportation 1. Cochin Shipyard to partner with HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering in various domains New Delhi: India is readying a new plan to promote domestically-flagged ships after an existing scheme appears set to miss its targets for the sector, hindering the government's aim to become a key player in global maritime consultations have identified aggregated demand for about 200 new Indian ships worth ₹1.3 lakh crore required for imports by the petroleum, steel, and fertiliser sectors."Shipping Ministry is working with Ministries of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Steel, and Fertiliser to address the low imports on India flagged ships," the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways (MoPSW) said, responding to queries from ET. "This has resulted in demand for around 200 ships of 8.6 million Gross Tonnage (GT) worth around ₹1.3 lakh crore which would be jointly owned by the public sector companies (PSUs) and built in Indian shipyards over the next few years," the ministry Centre's latest attempt to bolster the lineup of Indian-flagged merchant ships follows the high probability of the current ₹1,624 crore scheme to promote such vessels missing its goal. Maritime trade experts say the share of cargo carried by domestically-flagged ships in imports is still at around 8%, unchanged since 2021 when the scheme was launched."A review of the scheme is now expected but just ₹330 crore has been disbursed till now, and the share of Indian flagged ships remains in single digits," a senior official told ET. The scheme was announced in the FY22 budget and approved by the Union cabinet in July 2021. Funds were to be disbursed till FY26, providing up to 15% subsidy to Indian shipping companies participating in global tenders issued by the Centre and its arms. Sops were offered for importing government cargo such as crude oil, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), coal, and share of Indian vessels in the carriage of the country's export import (EXIM) trade plunged to about 7.8% in FY19 from 40.7% in 1987-88. As per official estimates, this led to around $70 billion annual foreign exchange outgo to foreign shipping lines. Indian ports handled around 1540.34 million metric tonnes (MMT) cargo in 2023-24, 7.5% higher than a year ships mandatorily employ Indian seafarers while also complying with domestic taxation and corporate laws, leading to 20% higher operating costs, according to official watchers say the increased operating costs is due to higher costs of debt funds, shorter loan tenures, and taxation on wages of Indian seafarers engaged on Indian vessels. There is also an integrated Goods and Services Tax (GST) on Indian companies importing ships, blocked GST tax credits, discriminatory GST on Indian vessels providing services between two Indian ports; all of which are not applicable to foreign ships providing similar services. The domestic industry has been lobbying for lowering of these duties and taxes."Nothing has happened to reduce this burden of duties and taxes on Indian ships that impairs their competitiveness," Anil Devli, CEO, Indian National Shipowners Association told ET.
