Domestic institutional investors stayed net buyers and mopped up equities worth Rs 2,373 crore, the data showed. This was their second consecutive session of buying.

Overall, in 2025 so far, the FPIs have net sold equities worth Rs 93,384 crore.
India's benchmark indices extended their winning streak for a second consecutive session, closing decisively in the green as investor sentiment got a boost from the Israel-Iran ceasefire, which alleviated geopolitical overhang. India VIX slipped nearly 5%, indicating a tapering of market volatility and improving risk appetite.
The NSE Nifty 50 ended 200.40 points, or 0.80% higher at 25,244.75, while the BSE Sensex closed 700.40 points, or 0.85% up at 82,755.51.
