Foreign Portfolio Investors Withdraw ₹11,820 Crore Amid Rupee Depreciation
In the first week of December 2025, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) pulled out ₹11,820 crore from Indian equities. This trend is primarily attributed to the sharp depreciation of the Indian rupee. This follows a net outflow of ₹3,765 crore in November. While October saw a brief pause with inflows, the preceding months witnessed massive withdrawals. Total FPI outflows for the year 2025 have reached ₹1.55 lakh crore. This sustained selling pressure by foreign investors reflects global economic uncertainties and currency volatility affecting the Indian market.
