Foreign investors buy over $4.1 billion of Indian shares in November so far
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have bought more than $4.1 billion of Indian shares so far in November 2026, according to HDFC Sky's market report for 9 November. That is the strongest monthly inflow since September 2024.
The buying has helped lift the market. The Sensex closed at 81,106.65 and the Nifty 50 at 25,044.65 on 9 November, their highest levels since 27 February 2026. The indices had risen about 10.5% over the seven sessions ending 6 November.
The report links part of the foreign buying to a sell-off in technology stocks abroad, which followed worries about whether huge spending on artificial intelligence will pay off. Some global investors have moved money towards emerging markets such as India.
Why it matters: foreign money is one of the biggest drivers of the Indian market. When foreign investors buy steadily, share prices usually get support. When they sell, the market can fall quickly.
What to remember: foreign flows can turn within weeks. One month of strong buying does not guarantee the next month.
