FPIs are continuously selling indian shares…
The tariffs imposed by US President donald trump on many countries of the world have created panic in the global market. Due to this, foreign investors have withdrawn Rs 31,575 crore from the stock market so far this month (between 1 april and 11 April). According to the data of depositories, FPIs invested Rs 30,927 crore in indian shares in six trading sessions between 21 march and 28 March. Due to this, the total withdrawal in march came down to Rs 3,973 crore, but this situation did not last for long and the selling phase in the market started again.
Withdrawal of about Rs 1.5 lakh crore has been done
In January, foreign investors had withdrawn Rs 78,027 crore from the stock market and Rs 34,574 crore in February. Compared to this, this figure is very low in April. This indicates that investor sentiment is gradually stabilizing.
With this, there has been an outflow of about Rs 1.5 lakh crore from the stock market so far in the year 2025. According to a TOI report, VK Vijaykumar, Chief Investment Strategist of Geojit Investments, has said, "The turmoil in the global stock market due to President Trump's reciprocal tariff is also affecting FPI investment." He believes that the pattern of FPI strategy in the stock market will emerge clearly only when this turmoil in the global market calms down.
Foreign investors can return
He further said, "In the medium term, foreign investors can increase investment in indian shares as both America and china are gradually moving towards recession due to the trade war between them. India's GDP can grow at the rate of 6 percent for the financial year 2025-26. Income is also expected to increase in FY26. In such a situation, FPIs can invest in india after the turmoil in the market calms down.
