Foreign investors pulled out ₹48,213 crore from Indian equities in just ten days of April, extending a devastating sell-off that has now totaled ₹1.8 lakh crore in 2026. This aggressive exodus follows March's record outflow of ₹1.17 lakh crore, marking the worst monthly exodus on record. Geopolitical tensions in West Asia, rising crude oil prices, and global macroeconomic uncertainties have triggered widespread risk aversion among foreign portfolio investors. The rupee's continued depreciation and concerns about India's modest earnings growth outlook for FY27 compared to markets like South Korea and Taiwan are further dampening investor confidence. Market analysts suggest FPIs used recent relief rallies as exit opportunities rather than buying signals.
