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 Dec 2017 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2017-12-01 | 4564.7 | 4258.6 | 306.1 | 2335.3 | 2159.1 | 176.2 | | 2017-12-04 | 3988.6 | 4322.2 | -333.6 | 3207 | 2430.9 | 776.2 | | 2017-12-05 | 3728.3 | 5198.8 | -1470.6 | 3312.5 | 2238.1 | 1074.4 | | 2017-12-06 | 4819.3 | 6037.2 | -1217.9 | 3416.4 | 2421.2 | 995.1 | | 2017-12-07 | 4483.3 | 5558.9 | -1075.6 | 3850.2 | 2923.5 | 926.7 | | 2017-12-08 | 6123.8 | 6799 | -675.2 | 4426.7 | 3183.7 | 1243 | | 2017-12-11 | 4881.3 | 5066.9 | -185.6 | 3098.1 | 2989.2 | 108.9 | | 2017-12-12 | 6889 | 6045.8 | 843.2 | 2633.7 | 3487.4 | -853.7 | | 2017-12-13 | 5335.7 | 5914.4 | -578.6 | 3493.6 | 3610.1 | -116.5 | | 2017-12-14 | 4976.4 | 4744.2 | 232.2 | 3535.2 | 3909.4 | -374.2 | | 2017-12-15 | 9250.9 | 10171.9 | -921 | 4812.6 | 4177.2 | 635.4 | | 2017-12-18 | 4297.2 | 4729 | -431.8 | 4099.7 | 3022.9 | 1076.8 | | 2017-12-19 | 5638.4 | 6046.2 | -407.8 | 4298.4 | 3941 | 357.4 | | 2017-12-20 | 4776.5 | 6281.6 | -1505 | 4388.5 | 4242.3 | 146.2 | | 2017-12-21 | 4753.4 | 5137.3 | -384 | 4731 | 3156.7 | 1574.3 | | 2017-12-22 | 3653.5 | 3545.6 | 107.9 | 3783.1 | 3411.6 | 371.5 | | 2017-12-26 | 2029.1 | 2073.2 | -44.1 | 4487.2 | 3942.7 | 544.5 | | 2017-12-27 | 2825.8 | 2653.5 | 172.3 | 3060.4 | 3267.1 | -206.7 | | 2017-12-28 | 5485.9 | 4923.3 | 562.6 | 5561.7 | 6335.8 | -774.1 | | 2017-12-29 | 3586.7 | 2991.6 | 595 | 4282.7 | 3821.4 | 461.4 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dec 2017 | -6411.5 | 8142.8 | 1731.3 | 20 | | Nov 2017 | -13514.9 | 9243.1 | -4271.8 | 22 | | 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 | --- 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.
