Foreign investors back with $4.11 billion in Indian equities! FPIs extend longest buying spree since July 2023
G Chokkalingam, founder and head of research at Equinomics Research told Reuters that international investors are returning to Indian stock markets because India appears less susceptible to global trade conflicts compared to the US and China. He also noted that India is expected to maintain its position as the fastest-growing major economy in fiscal year 2026.
The stock markets remained resilient, dismissing concerns about potential escalation of India-Pakistan tensions following the terrorist attack in Kashmir last week, which had initially affected investor confidence.
Market analysts indicate that anticipated U.S.-India trade agreements could lead to increased portfolio investments in the immediate future.
Foreign investors' attention towards Indian equities is attributed to favourable large-cap valuations and robust performance from key companies like Reliance Industries, alongside strategic fund movements between China, India, and the United States, according to Kranthi Bathini of Wealthmills Securities.
