Foreign institutional investors have pulled Rs 1,75,089 crore from Indian equities in 2026, with April outflows reaching Rs 43,967 crore. Last week alone saw FIIs offload Rs 17,140 crore while domestic institutional investors bought Rs 4,700 crore, triggering sharp declines across indices. The Nifty fell 1.14% and Sensex dropped 1.29%, with IT stocks leading losses at over 5%. Global factors including US-Iran tensions and upcoming FOMC decisions are driving institutional flows away from India toward markets like Korea and Taiwan. Analysts cite reduced sectoral leadership, IT derating, and muted private bank growth as key concerns. For FIIs to return meaningfully, India needs clear earnings acceleration and supportive currency trends to restore its appeal in global allocation strategies.
