FPIs reverse 4-month selling trend with Rs 15,157 cr inflow in Jul

Foreign portfolio investors reversed a four-month selling streak with a net inflow of Rs 15,157 crore into Indian equities in July, following cumulative outflows of Rs 1.43 lakh crore between March and June. Despite the turnaround, FPIs remain net sellers of around Rs 2.6 lakh crore so far in 2026, though analysts attribute the July reversal to improving global risk appetite, easing geopolitical tensions, rupee stability, and more reasonable domestic valuations. Foreign investors also stepped up debt purchases, deploying Rs 6,625 crore via the Fully Accessible Route and Rs 3,228 crore through the general route in July.
