VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services<\/a>, noted, \u201cThere are signs of FPI inflows weakening. After three months of positive inflows, FPI has turned negative, though marginally, so far in July.\u201d<\/p>\n He attributed the latest trend to the earlier heavy selloff in January and February, and said, \u201cThe first three months of this year, FPI inflows were negative and this trend was reversed in the next three months.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite selling on the secondary markets, FPIs remained active in the primary market. \u201cAn important trend in FPI investment is that FPIs have been consistent buyers\/investors in the primary market even when they have been selling through the exchanges,\u201d Vijayakumar added.

Explaining the outflows in July, he said, \u201cFPI selling in July after three months of buying can be attributed to the recovery in the market from the March lows and the consequent elevated valuations. Since other markets are cheaper relative to India, FIIs may again sell and move money to cheaper markets as a short-term strategy.\u201dIn the broader global context, India has not been a top performer among emerging markets. \u201cIn H1 2025, the Indian market underperformed most markets, including the MSCI EM Index,\u201d he noted.Also read: TCS, Bharti Airtel, among 78 stocks approaching record dates for dividends, bonus issue, stock splits<\/a><\/p>\n
