Foreign investors turn positive, Rs 6,310 cr pumped in Nov so far
Foreign investors have pumped in Rs 6,310 crore into Indian capital markets this month so far, after pulling out massive funds in October, on easing crude oil prices and a strengthening rupee. Of these, most of the funds were infused in the debt market by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs), the latest data with depositories showed.

The recent inflows come after a net outflow of more than Rs 38,900 crore in October, which was the steepest withdrawal in nearly two years. FPIs pulled out over Rs 21,000 crore from capital markets (both equity and debt) in September. Before that, they had put in Rs 7,500 crore in July and August. Overseas investors infused Rs 923 crore in the equity market during November 1-22, and Rs 5,387 crore in the debt market, taking the total to Rs 6,310 crore (USD 862 million), the data showed.
According to experts, an appreciating rupee and fall in oil prices gave a leeway to India’s macros and accordingly influenced FPIs to change their stance towards emerging markets. “The latest inflow could be attributed to falling in crude prices, recovery in rupee against the dollar and improvement in the liquidity situation,” Himanshu Srivastava, Sr Analyst Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Adviser (I), said.
