Indian equity markets witnessed contrasting moves from institutional investors on Wednesday, with Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs/FPIs) booking profits while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) stepped in with strong buying support.
FIIs sold shares worth ₹14,994 crore against purchases of ₹11,350 crore, resulting in net outflows of ₹3,644 crore. In contrast, DIIs bought equities worth ₹13,982 crore and sold ₹8,358 crore, ending the session as net buyers with inflows of ₹5,623 crore.
So far in 2025, FIIs have pulled out ₹1.84 lakh crore from Indian equities, while DIIs have injected ₹4.60 lakh crore, maintaining their role as a stabilising force in the market.
Market Rally on Cooling Inflation
The positive momentum continued in Indian markets, with the Nifty climbing 132 points (+0.5%) to close at 24,619 and the Sensex rising 456 points to settle at 80,712. Sentiment improved after retail inflation in India eased to an eight-year low of 1.55% in July, down from 2.10% in June, boosting hopes for a favourable interest rate outlook.
