Monthly totals are the sum of the daily figures; a net-buy or net-sell day is a session with a positive or negative net. - A streak counts consecutive trading sessions in the month with the same net direction. Holidays do not break a streak. - The rank compares this month with every month in the trailing 24-month window shown in the history table. A month still in progress is ranked on its sessions so far. - Sector-wise FPI net investment is reported fortnightly and covers equity, debt and hybrid investment, so it does not reconcile with the daily cash-market figures. ### Every session in Sep 2016 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2016-09-01 | 3344.3 | 3645.8 | -301.5 | 2451.2 | 2143 | 308.2 | | 2016-09-02 | 3617.6 | 3386.4 | 231.2 | 2590.6 | 2455.7 | 134.9 | | 2016-09-06 | 5512.6 | 4073.8 | 1438.7 | 2146.3 | 2414.5 | -268.2 | | 2016-09-07 | 5606.7 | 4752.6 | 854.1 | 2406.1 | 3174.6 | -768.6 | | 2016-09-08 | 4671.1 | 4559.7 | 111.4 | 2152 | 2739.5 | -587.4 | | 2016-09-09 | 4006.9 | 4322.1 | -315.2 | 1899.9 | 2228.1 | -328.3 | | 2016-09-12 | 3565.8 | 4159.4 | -593.6 | 2644.4 | 2657.3 | -12.9 | | 2016-09-14 | 4569.1 | 5046.4 | -477.3 | 2399.4 | 2407.9 | -8.5 | | 2016-09-15 | 3406.7 | 3061.3 | 345.4 | 1805 | 2261.9 | -456.9 | | 2016-09-16 | 11227.5 | 10566.9 | 660.6 | 2589.6 | 2802.7 | -213.1 | | 2016-09-19 | 4070.9 | 3865.6 | 205.4 | 2040.2 | 2292.5 | -252.3 | | 2016-09-20 | 4118.6 | 5265.6 | -1146.9 | 3119 | 2341.4 | 777.5 | | 2016-09-21 | 4216.6 | 4032.8 | 183.8 | 2140.4 | 2371 | -230.6 | | 2016-09-22 | 4744.3 | 4407.4 | 336.9 | 2715.7 | 2405.3 | 310.4 | | 2016-09-23 | 5753.4 | 6053.4 | -300 | 2917.2 | 2421.1 | 496.1 | | 2016-09-26 | 4381.5 | 4587.9 | -206.4 | 2396.3 | 2509.7 | -113.4 | | 2016-09-27 | 3650.9 | 3806.6 | -155.8 | 2225.4 | 2134.8 | 90.7 | | 2016-09-28 | 4766.2 | 4692.3 | 73.8 | 2262.7 | 2332.3 | -69.5 | | 2016-09-29 | 11460.4 | 8047 | 3413.4 | 5373 | 3742.1 | 1630.9 | | 2016-09-30 | 4474.9 | 5503.2 | -1028.3 | 3165.9 | 1605.6 | 1560.3 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Sep 2016 | 3329.7 | 1999.3 | 5329 | 20 | | Aug 2016 | 8778.3 | -4406.4 | 4371.9 | 22 | | Jul 2016 | 10122.7 | -6054.9 | 4067.8 | 20 | | Jun 2016 | 3957.9 | -2173.6 | 1784.3 | 22 | | May 2016 | 38.4 | 6758 | 6796.4 | 21 | | Apr 2016 | 2936.2 | -2554.4 | 381.8 | 15 | | Mar 2016 | 24201.5 | -16892.1 | 7309.4 | 20 | | Feb 2016 | -12513.2 | 10491.4 | -2021.8 | 21 | | Jan 2016 | -14356 | 12874.8 | -1481.2 | 20 | | Dec 2015 | -2360 | 6327.5 | 3967.5 | 22 | | Nov 2015 | -9029.8 | 8500.1 | -529.7 | 19 | | Oct 2015 | 3026.7 | -1518.9 | 1507.8 | 19 | | Sep 2015 | -11279.1 | 10273.2 | -1005.9 | 20 | | Aug 2015 | -19772.1 | 16437.5 | -3334.6 | 20 | | Jul 2015 | 2298 | 72.1 | 2370.1 | 22 | | Jun 2015 | -8192.8 | 12026.7 | 3833.9 | 22 | | May 2015 | -4796.3 | 8582.2 | 3785.9 | 20 | | Apr 2015 | 7864.3 | 11511.3 | 19375.6 | 19 | | Mar 2015 | 6580.8 | 194.8 | 6775.6 | 21 | | Feb 2015 | 6746.3 | 1711.9 | 8458.2 | 20 | | Jan 2015 | 8540.7 | -6531.7 | 2009 | 20 | | Dec 2014 | -3936.7 | 5955.6 | 2018.9 | 21 | | Nov 2014 | 10945.4 | -7271.3 | 3674.1 | 18 | | Oct 2014 | -1683 | 4102.7 | 2419.7 | 17 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
