Below the Comment on DII overtake FII on Nifty 50 ownership from Himanshu Srivastava, Principal, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India

“DIIs now holding a larger share than FIIs in the Nifty50 underscores a fundamental shift toward stronger domestic participation in India’s equity markets. This reflects the growing strength of domestic capital pools. The change has been driven by sustained mutual fund SIP inflows, rising retail participation, and steady allocations from insurance and pension funds, even as FIIs turned cautious amid global macro uncertainty, elevated overseas rates, and a stronger dollar. The increasing dominance of domestic money provides a more stable, long-term source of liquidity, reduces reliance on volatile foreign flows, and could help cushion markets during global risk-off phases, ultimately making India’s equity market structure more resilient and aligned with domestic growth fundamentals.”
