There was a total net inflow of Rs 2,82,338crore for both equity and debt in FY24.According to market watchers, the reason for a quick rebound in the capital markets can be attributed to the positive sentiments, a stable government’s assurance on continuity of reforms, tepid US Fed rates, and strong domestic demand.
“The recent announcements in IFSC Gift City for wide participation for foreign and Indian investors has also diverted the international players to allocate a substantial portion of their global portfolio to India markets,” said ManojPurohit, Partner and leader, FS Tax, Tax and Regulatory Services, BDO India.
In the first week of this month, FPIs infused Rs 7,962 crore in equity while their debt investments in the same period stood at Rs 6,304 crore.
