Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) withdrew ₹52,704 crore (approx. $5.73 billion) from Indian equities in the first half of March, driven by geopolitical tensions in West Asia and rising crude oil prices. This sell-off follows a strong inflow of ₹22,615 crore in February, marking a stark reversal in sentiment.

• FPIs have been net sellers on all trading days this month.

• Previous months saw net withdrawals of ₹35,962 crore in January and ₹22,611 crore in December.

Market experts warn of potential impacts on corporate earnings and economic growth.
