Markets in Survival Mode – Imagine the Growth Mode

Domestic investors have absorbed heavy foreign institutional selling, a measure of market resilience, and a hint of what growth mode could look like.
Key insights
- Over the past 12 months, foreign portfolio investors were net sellers of ₹2.4 lakh crore.
- Domestic institutional investors were net buyers of ₹5.3 lakh crore over the same period.
- Domestic buying more than offset FPI selling by a wide margin, helping markets recover from sharp shocks.
- What happens when FPIs stop selling, or turn net buyers?
- If this is survival mode, imagine the growth mode.
