FPI selling continues: Rs 11,820 crore offloaded in December first week; total 2025 outflow touches Rs 1.55 lakh crore

Foreign investors offloaded Rs 11,820 crore from Indian equities in the first week of December, primarily due to a depreciating rupee and global year-end portfolio adjustments. Despite this, domestic institutional investors stepped in, buying Rs 19,783 crore worth of equities. The RBI’s rate cut and improved growth forecast offered a brief respite, with attention now on global monetary policy shifts.
