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 Aug 2017 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2017-08-01 | 4515.6 | 5461.5 | -945.8 | 4313.3 | 2922.6 | 1390.6 | | 2017-08-02 | 4062 | 3588.2 | 473.7 | 2671.3 | 2904.2 | -233 | | 2017-08-03 | 5533.6 | 5509.6 | 24.1 | 3068.6 | 3458 | -389.3 | | 2017-08-04 | 4266.5 | 5120.3 | -853.8 | 3949 | 2931.8 | 1017.1 | | 2017-08-07 | 3789.7 | 3989 | -199.2 | 2572.4 | 2264.2 | 308.2 | | 2017-08-08 | 6245.7 | 4705.8 | 1539.8 | 3151.6 | 2353 | 798.6 | | 2017-08-09 | 3238.4 | 4079.9 | -841.4 | 2886.5 | 2333.3 | 553.2 | | 2017-08-10 | 4384.5 | 5555.7 | -1171.2 | 4085 | 3263.3 | 821.7 | | 2017-08-11 | 4119.5 | 6063.4 | -1943.9 | 5085.8 | 3069 | 2016.8 | | 2017-08-14 | 3230.7 | 4869.6 | -1638.8 | 3652.6 | 2033.5 | 1619.2 | | 2017-08-16 | 5399.9 | 6490 | -1090.1 | 3569.7 | 2232.8 | 1336.9 | | 2017-08-17 | 3453.3 | 4434.4 | -981 | 2765 | 1936.4 | 828.6 | | 2017-08-18 | 4785 | 6967.1 | -2182.1 | 3699.4 | 3114.8 | 584.6 | | 2017-08-21 | 4236.3 | 6219.7 | -1983.4 | 2930 | 2455.3 | 474.7 | | 2017-08-22 | 3415.5 | 4244.2 | -828.7 | 2842.8 | 2407.7 | 435 | | 2017-08-23 | 3926 | 5083.5 | -1157.5 | 3112.8 | 2183 | 929.8 | | 2017-08-24 | 4243.9 | 4940.8 | -696.9 | 3686.4 | 2642 | 1044.4 | | 2017-08-28 | 5926.9 | 6051.6 | -124.7 | 2546.4 | 2070.1 | 476.3 | | 2017-08-29 | 4264.1 | 5723.7 | -1459.6 | 2985.4 | 1594.1 | 1391.3 | | 2017-08-30 | 4169.5 | 4182 | -12.5 | 2239 | 1948.2 | 290.8 | | 2017-08-31 | 8381.8 | 8304.2 | 77.6 | 4406.1 | 3896.4 | 509.7 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Aug 2017 | -15995.4 | 16205.2 | 209.8 | 21 | | Jul 2017 | 1464.7 | 4786.6 | 6251.3 | 21 | | Jun 2017 | -4051.3 | 6675.9 | 2624.6 | 20 | | May 2017 | -452.5 | 4277.1 | 3824.6 | 22 | | Apr 2017 | -6627.6 | 9247.5 | 2619.9 | 18 | | Mar 2017 | 26473.2 | -4395.7 | 22077.5 | 22 | | Feb 2017 | 8704.1 | 935.2 | 9639.3 | 19 | | 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 | --- Compiled by Tapetide from exchange and regulator disclosures (NSE, BSE, SEBI) unless a section states otherwise — any figure marked unofficial or indicative is not an official disclosure.
