FIIs Show Mixed Flows in 2025, Year-End Buying Sparks Hope

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) withdrew a net ₹1.58 lakh crore from Indian equities in 2025, reflecting sustained selling pressure throughout the year. However, recent trading sessions showed a shift, with net buying of about ₹3,000 crore toward year-end. Market participants view this late year buying as a sign of potential reversal in FII sentiment, which could bode well for Indian equities heading into 2026, especially amid hopes of a Santa Claus rally.
