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 2018 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2018-01-01 | 769.8 | 443.9 | 325.9 | 2499.4 | 3799.7 | -1300.3 | | 2018-01-02 | 3162.4 | 2639.6 | 522.7 | 3230.3 | 3165.6 | 64.7 | | 2018-01-03 | 4529.2 | 4432.9 | 96.3 | 3081.1 | 3350.3 | -269.2 | | 2018-01-04 | 4624.1 | 4412 | 212 | 3816.6 | 3491.3 | 325.2 | | 2018-01-05 | 5811.9 | 5230.5 | 581.4 | 3984.7 | 3741.6 | 243.1 | | 2018-01-08 | 5636.7 | 4943.8 | 692.8 | 3709.8 | 3916.1 | -206.3 | | 2018-01-09 | 4872.4 | 5176.4 | -303.9 | 4017.7 | 3494.8 | 522.9 | | 2018-01-10 | 3796.9 | 4369.2 | -572.3 | 3943.4 | 3343.2 | 600.2 | | 2018-01-11 | 4977.5 | 5601.2 | -623.6 | 3635.6 | 2865.6 | 770 | | 2018-01-12 | 5857.1 | 6015.3 | -158.2 | 3264.5 | 2568.2 | 696.2 | | 2018-01-15 | 5147 | 5114 | 32.9 | 3864.4 | 4037.7 | -173.3 | | 2018-01-16 | 8203 | 7509.9 | 693.2 | 4002.6 | 4249 | -246.4 | | 2018-01-17 | 7883.3 | 7258.2 | 625.1 | 4688.2 | 4519.6 | 168.6 | | 2018-01-18 | 9015 | 7120 | 1895 | 4396 | 5053.5 | -657.5 | | 2018-01-19 | 6105 | 5116.7 | 988.2 | 3716.1 | 3506.2 | 209.9 | | 2018-01-22 | 7002.3 | 5434.8 | 1567.5 | 3583.2 | 4045 | -461.9 | | 2018-01-23 | 8312.4 | 7083.1 | 1229.4 | 6324.2 | 6155.2 | 169 | | 2018-01-24 | 7723.4 | 6947 | 776.4 | 5436 | 5629.8 | -193.9 | | 2018-01-25 | 9091.9 | 8154.6 | 937.3 | 6756.8 | 7722.5 | -965.7 | | 2018-01-29 | 8487.5 | 8195.7 | 291.9 | 4620.1 | 4530 | 90.1 | | 2018-01-30 | 6182.6 | 6288.2 | -105.6 | 4636.1 | 4917.8 | -281.6 | | 2018-01-31 | 7030.5 | 7167.1 | -136.6 | 5822.7 | 4528.1 | 1294.7 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Jan 2018 | 9567.8 | 398.5 | 9966.3 | 22 | | 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 | --- 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.
