FPIs offload Indian stocks worth Rs 30,015 crore in first fortnight of March

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
Selling of Indian equities by the Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued in the first fortnight of March where they sold shares worth Rs 30,015 crore. The total FII selling in this year so far has been at Rs 1,42,616 crore.

In January, FPIs sold shares worth Rs 78,027 crore and followed it up with a sell-off amounting to Rs 34,574 crore in February.


Friday was a trading holiday on account of Holi festival.

On Thursday, the Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold Indian equities worth Rs 793 crore while the Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net buyers at Rs 1,724 crore.

Commenting on the existing FII/FPI trends, expert V K Vijayakumar, who is Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services that the intensity of selling is slowly declining as valuations are becoming reasonable though the trend of FII selling in India continued in early March, too.

"The FPI outflows from India have been mainly going into Chinese stocks which have been outperforming other markets in 2025. The recent decline in the dollar index will limit the fund flows to the US. However, the heightened uncertainty triggered by the trade war between the US and other nations is likely to push more money into safe asset classes like gold and dollar," Vijayakumar said.

India VIX jumps 100% in one month. Could fear levels take Nifty further down?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors. The spike has coincided with a sharp correction in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 declining about 8% during the same period. The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...
