Foreign investors selling: Foreign investors are rapidly withdrawing money from the Indian stock market. They are selling Indian shares at a speed never seen before. So far in 2025, FIIs have sold equities worth about Rs 152 crore every trading hour. However, due to continuous investment in SIP, domestic institutional investors have somehow absorbed this shock.
you sold and we bought
Foreign investors sold Indian shares worth more than Rs 2.23 lakh crore through the secondary market this year. According to the trading calendar, this is equivalent to shares worth about Rs 900 crore being sold every trading day or shares worth about Rs 152 crore being sold every hour of market opening. However, it is a matter of relief that despite this continuous selling pressure, the benchmark indices remain flexible. The same sequence continued in December also.
Foreign investors sold their share of Indian shares on all the trading days so far this month. They have sold approximately Rs 15,959 crore through exchanges. Taking the responsibility of handling this situation on its shoulders, it bought shares worth about Rs 39,965 crore during the same period. This shows that at present it is not the foreigners but the domestic investors who are in command of the market. Experts also believe that if domestic investors had not taken steps in this direction, the pressure on the market would have increased further.
Big contribution of SIP
The contribution of SIP in handling the situation cannot be denied. There has been continuous investment in SIP mutual funds for the last three consecutive months. SIP inflow during this period was Rs 29,445 crore. Continuous investment in SIP mutual funds showed that investors still have confidence in the Indian stock market. Long term investment in SIP is providing stability to the market. In this way, while FIIs are selling shares from one side, DIIs from the other side are maintaining balance by placing bets in the shares.
