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 Jan 2017 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2017-01-02 | 959.1 | 1219.7 | -260.6 | 1630.6 | 1609.9 | 20.7 | | 2017-01-03 | 1909 | 2409.5 | -500.5 | 2124.1 | 1561.8 | 562.3 | | 2017-01-04 | 3428.2 | 4228.9 | -800.7 | 1887.5 | 1460.4 | 427.1 | | 2017-01-05 | 4519 | 4605.8 | -86.9 | 2259.4 | 1810.3 | 449.1 | | 2017-01-06 | 3502.2 | 3757.4 | -255.2 | 2563.3 | 2398 | 165.3 | | 2017-01-09 | 2183.1 | 2508.2 | -325.1 | 1919.8 | 1823 | 96.8 | | 2017-01-10 | 3569 | 3590.2 | -21.2 | 2458.3 | 2204.9 | 253.4 | | 2017-01-11 | 3906.7 | 4534 | -627.3 | 3964.2 | 2848.1 | 1116.2 | | 2017-01-12 | 3395.8 | 3408.6 | -12.8 | 2224.1 | 2334.2 | -110.1 | | 2017-01-13 | 3227.6 | 3345.2 | -117.6 | 2345 | 2818.5 | -473.5 | | 2017-01-16 | 2380.5 | 2727.8 | -347.2 | 2270.6 | 2067.2 | 203.4 | | 2017-01-17 | 3448.7 | 3306.4 | 142.2 | 2096.3 | 2703.5 | -607.2 | | 2017-01-19 | 4091 | 4223.3 | -132.3 | 2544.6 | 2165 | 379.6 | | 2017-01-20 | 4510.7 | 4537 | -26.3 | 2364.1 | 2539.6 | -175.5 | | 2017-01-23 | 4301.9 | 4590.7 | -288.8 | 2765.2 | 2245.2 | 520 | | 2017-01-24 | 5052.3 | 4958.3 | 94 | 2803.4 | 2270 | 533.5 | | 2017-01-25 | 8874.3 | 7495.5 | 1378.8 | 3575.8 | 3192.8 | 383 | | 2017-01-27 | 5829 | 5617.2 | 211.8 | 2807.6 | 2325.1 | 482.5 | | 2017-01-30 | 3212.8 | 2605.5 | 607.4 | 2525.4 | 2485.4 | 40 | | 2017-01-31 | 4608.8 | 5141.7 | -532.9 | 3726.3 | 3489 | 237.4 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Jan 2017 | -1901.2 | 4504 | 2602.8 | 20 | | Dec 2016 | -11325.1 | 9136 | -2189.1 | 22 | | Nov 2016 | -19982.3 | 18277.2 | -1705.1 | 21 | | Oct 2016 | -5770.2 | 7906.6 | 2136.4 | 19 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
