FPIs’ Comeback in September : Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a significant return to Indian markets in September, ending a period of reduced activity. After consistently investing in June and July, following the stabilization of markets post-elections, FPIs had slowed their buying with the start of the fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25). However, September saw a renewed interest in Indian equities.

The total net investment, including debt, hybrid, debt-VRR, and equities, reached Rs.53,007 crore. Investments in debt markets have been more modest, totaling Rs.7,525 crore so far this month.
