Domestic institutions log Rs 20,19,580 crore in net equity inflows over 38 straight months from August 2023
Indian equities continue to be structurally supported by sustained domestic institutional inflows, driven largely by retail SIPs, which have absorbed heavy foreign investor selling over the past two years. Ownership is shifting: DII stakes in Nifty 500 rose to ~21% while FII holdings fell to a new low near 17%. Near-term, this suggests improved internal bid resilience but persistent external flow sensitivity.
