Below Quote on FII flows 28th March 2026 from Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited

"FPIs were net sellers on all trading days in March, so far, taking the total FPI selling through exchanges in March through 27th to a record Rs 118093 crores.

The weakness in global equity markets following the war in West Asia, the steady depreciation of the rupee, fears of decline in remittances from the Gulf region and concerns surrounding the impact of high crude price on India’s growth and corporate earnings contributed to the sustained selling by FPIs. 

It is important to understand that FPIs were sellers in other emerging markets, too, like Taiwan and South Korea. There is a risk-off trend in equity markets, globally after the war broke out in West Asia. 

The poor returns from India vis a vis other markets - both developed and emerging- during the last eighteen months is the principal reason for FPI’s indifference towards India. If their sustained selling strategy is to change, there should be an end to the hostilities in West Asia and decline in crude prices."
