Foreign investors pull out Rs 48056 crore from Indian stock markets in October

Foreign portfolio investors pulled out Rs 48,056 crore from Indian equities in October. Rising worries about inflation and high crude oil prices caused this large withdrawal.

Market Signs

Even with the heavy losses, selling pressure showed some signs of slowing down recently. Markets recorded two days of net buying during the month. Total outflows from equities for the year 2026 have now reached high levels when compared to past years.
