Mumbai, July 3, 2025: FPIs brought net inflow of Rs 3,339.7 crore in Indian capital markets on July 2nd. This substantial inflow was primarily backed by robust activity in the debt segment, specifically under the Fully Accessible Route (FAR), and heightened participation in primary equity markets. This performance represents a considerable recovery from the previous day’s net inflows of ₹9,815.71 crore, which were predominantly influenced by large debt market transactions.

Outlook
The renewed interest in primary market investments and significant inflows via the FAR route indicate an improving risk appetite and growing confidence among global investors regarding India’s macroeconomic stability and ongoing liberalisation of its debt market.
However, a continued cautious stance in the general debt segment and hybrid mutual fund schemes suggests a selective approach to risk-taking amidst global interest rate uncertainties. FPIs remain crucial participants in India’s capital markets, and the shifting composition of their investments across various asset classes underscores the dynamic nature of foreign investor sentiment.
