This was preceded by net selling of Rs 78,027 crore in January. In 2025 so far, the overseas investors have net sold equities worth Rs 1.41 lakh crore, the NSDL data showed.
The benchmark equity indices ended Wednesday's session lower, with NSE Nifty 50 ending in red and BSE Sensex extending its decline for the third day.
The Nifty 50 ended 27.40 points, or 0.12% lower at 22,470.50, while the Sensex closed 72.56 points, or 0.10% down at 74,029.76.
The current market texture is volatile and non-directional, and hence, level-based trading would be the ideal strategy for day traders, as per Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research at Kotak Securities Ltd. For traders now, 22,300 levels would act as a "sacrosanct support zone", he said.
