New Delhi. According to the latest data from National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have been net sellers in every month of 2026, except for the month of February. This trend has put pressure on the Indian equity market and increased investor concerns.
NSDL data shows that foreign investors have withdrawn more than Rs 62,800 crore in the first fortnight of June alone. This is a sign of large amount of capital outflow, which is indicative of a negative outlook for the market.
According to experts, this attitude of FPIs has arisen from global economic uncertainties, rising interest rates and fears of a possible recession. This situation of continuous selling may prove challenging for the stability of the market.
In February 2026, foreigners made some remaining purchases, but apart from this, net selling was recorded every month. This reflects the increasing caution of investors and changes in the global financial environment.
Economic analysts say that the withdrawal of foreign investors may increase volatility in the Indian stock markets, but it can also be seen as an opportunity for long-term investors. Other market factors such as domestic investment, policy changes and economic reforms will also play an important role in determining the direction of the market.
The government and financial regulatory institutions are considering new measures to restore investor confidence in such a situation, so that the inclination of foreign investors remains towards the Indian market.
Overall, this trend of FPI outflow from the beginning of 2026 till now presents a challenge for the financial markets of India, which can be managed with proper strategy and vigilance. Need to be handled with.
