Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) turned net buyers in the Indian stock market in February, snapping a three-month streak of outflows, and recording their highest monthly inflows in the past sixteen months. However, despite the return of foreign inflows, benchmark indices — the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty 50 — ended the month marginally lower.
FPIs net bought Indian equities worth ₹22,615 crore in February, according to data from National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Previously, FPIs had invested ₹57,724 crore in September 2024.
The February inflows follow significant net FPI outflows of ₹35,962 crore in January 2026, ₹22,611 crore in December 2025, and ₹3,765 crore in November 2025, the data showed.
