Foreign investors withdrew 44,166 hundred million rupees from Indian equities in October, with outflows exceeding 30 trillion rupees in 2026.

Foreign investors have withdrawn 44,166 crore rupees from Indian equities so far in October, bringing cumulative outflows in 2026 to 3.04 lakh crore rupees, far exceeding the full-year total of 1.66 lakh crore rupees in 2025. Net outflows in September were 35,861 crore rupees, while inflows in July and August were 20,200 hundred million rupees and 29,631 hundred million rupees, respectively. Analysts attribute this to high crude oil prices, a stronger dollar, rising U.S. Treasury yields, and foreign investors chasing the AI rally in North Asia.
