This comes after a net FPIinvestment of over Rs 36,200 crore in November primarily due to weakening of the US dollar index and positive macroeconomic trends.
Foreign investors had pulled out Rs 8 crore in October and Rs 7,624 crore in September, data with depositories showed. “Despite correction, increasing concerns over re-emergence of Covid in some parts of world and recession worries in US, FPIs remained net buyers in December,” said Himanshu Srivastava of Morningstar India.
Quantum of net inflow was much lower at a little over Rs 1,000 crore in week ended December 23, compared to Rs 6,055 crore in the previous week.
