FPIs Stay Net Sellers, Offload Equities Worth Rs 2,519 Crore

Foreign portfolio investors continued their selling streak for the ninth straight session on Friday, net offloading Rs 2,519.03 crore worth of shares, according to the provisional data from the National Stock Exchange.

The net selling by FPIs, however, is lower as compared to Rs 4,358.02 crore during the last trading session on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the domestic institutional investors remained net buyers for the fourth straight day on Friday, as they mopped up equities worth Rs 3,759.27 crore.

In March, the overseas investors had net offloaded equities worth Rs 3,973 crore, according to the National Securities Depository Ltd.'s data.

In February, they had net offloaded equities worth Rs 34,574 crore. This was preceded by net selling of Rs 78,027 crore in January. In 2025 so far, the FPIs have net sold equities worth Rs 1.48 lakh crore, the NSDL data showed.

Notably, the benchmark equity indices reversed their single-session decline on Friday as the trade war between US and China intensified.

The NSE Nifty ended 429.40 points or 1.92% higher at 22,828.55, while the BSE Sensex closed 1,310.11 points or 1.77% up at 75,157.26 after witnessing a volatile week.

However, the frontline indices ended the week in red for the second consecutive week with minor losses following a temporary pause in US trade tariffs.
