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 Oct 2017 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2017-10-03 | 5770.2 | 6463.2 | -693 | 3803.2 | 2250.8 | 1552.4 | | 2017-10-04 | 3963.8 | 4595.9 | -632.1 | 2814.2 | 2229.3 | 584.9 | | 2017-10-05 | 3201.5 | 3858 | -656.5 | 2946 | 2427 | 519 | | 2017-10-06 | 3601.5 | 4641.9 | -1040.4 | 3978.1 | 2738.4 | 1239.7 | | 2017-10-09 | 2882.9 | 3358 | -475.1 | 2585.5 | 2530.1 | 55.4 | | 2017-10-10 | 3518.2 | 4023 | -504.8 | 3045.6 | 2643.5 | 402.2 | | 2017-10-11 | 5489.3 | 5597.2 | -108 | 3469.5 | 3235.7 | 233.8 | | 2017-10-12 | 4095.6 | 4763.8 | -668.1 | 3507.6 | 2635 | 872.5 | | 2017-10-13 | 5348.9 | 7047.4 | -1698.5 | 4722.6 | 3132.5 | 1590.1 | | 2017-10-16 | 5286.9 | 5316.8 | -29.9 | 3216 | 2943.3 | 272.7 | | 2017-10-17 | 4373.7 | 4858.6 | -484.9 | 3386.7 | 2577.7 | 809 | | 2017-10-18 | 4937 | 6188.1 | -1251.2 | 4054.5 | 3150.2 | 904.3 | | 2017-10-19 | 15.4 | 59.1 | -43.7 | 44.2 | 3.4 | 40.8 | | 2017-10-23 | 6646.5 | 6728 | -81.5 | 3080.5 | 2772.7 | 307.8 | | 2017-10-24 | 4033.6 | 5340.4 | -1306.8 | 3666.4 | 3074.2 | 592.3 | | 2017-10-25 | 13402.2 | 9819.7 | 3582.5 | 7808.7 | 7964.4 | -155.7 | | 2017-10-26 | 10216.4 | 10592 | -375.6 | 6751.1 | 7274.6 | -523.5 | | 2017-10-27 | 6106 | 6746.9 | -641 | 4154.1 | 4097.5 | 56.6 | | 2017-10-30 | 4946.4 | 5132.4 | -186 | 3773.9 | 3634.2 | 139.7 | | 2017-10-31 | 5991.9 | 6523.8 | -531.8 | 3905.6 | 3308.7 | 596.9 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Oct 2017 | -7826.4 | 10090.9 | 2264.5 | 20 | | Sep 2017 | -23969.8 | 21025.7 | -2944.1 | 21 | | 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 | --- 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.
