Indian Funds’ Stock Buying Nears Record as Foreigners Exit

Stock purchases by Indian institutions are inching toward a record this year, providing a cushion to the nation's $5.1 trillion market as foreign funds keep selling.

Local investors, mainly mutual funds and insurance firms, have bought over $59 billion worth of equities, nearing last year's all-time high. Foreign investors have pulled over $15 billion from Indian markets in 2025 so far, amid a rotation into China's rallying equities. The outflows are approaching the record $17 billion exodus seen in 2022.
