FPI May trade: Foreign portfolio investiors withdrew Rs 14,231 crore from Indian equities

Foreign portfolio investors have withdrawn over Rs 2 lakh crore from Indian equities in 2026, with May seeing further outflows of Rs 14,231 crore. Persistent global macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflation and interest rate concerns, are driving this trend, making developed market debt more attractive. Despite overall selling, some selective interest remains in specific sectors and growth-oriented mid and small-cap stocks.
