Foreign portfolio investors extended a selling streak in Indian equities through the first fortnight of June 2026, withdrawing roughly ₹62,800 crore according to market data compiled by June 14.
Dealers attributed the outflows to combined pressure from global inflation concerns, a firm U.S. dollar and geopolitical risk premia that prompted reallocations toward developed-market assets.
Domestic institutional buyers partially offset foreign sales in select large caps, yet headline indices remained sensitive to nightly overseas cues.
Policy makers are weighing additional capital-attraction measures as outflows challenge balance-of-payments arithmetic heading into the second half of the year.
