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 Apr 2018 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2018-04-02 | 4031.9 | 4721.6 | -689.8 | 2960.7 | 2547.6 | 413.2 | | 2018-04-03 | 5463.4 | 5840 | -376.5 | 3329.8 | 2850.6 | 479.2 | | 2018-04-05 | 4460.6 | 4568.6 | -108 | 4560.8 | 3945.5 | 615.3 | | 2018-04-06 | 3926.6 | 4451.5 | -524.8 | 3774 | 2468.5 | 1305.4 | | 2018-04-09 | 4447.1 | 5748 | -1300.9 | 3523.4 | 3164 | 359.4 | | 2018-04-10 | 4186 | 4871 | -685 | 3633.2 | 2979.5 | 653.6 | | 2018-04-11 | 4832.1 | 4469.8 | 362.3 | 3249.4 | 3137.6 | 111.8 | | 2018-04-12 | 4713.7 | 4344.8 | 368.9 | 3262.6 | 3878.4 | -615.8 | | 2018-04-13 | 4338 | 4737.6 | -399.6 | 3564.7 | 3258.7 | 306 | | 2018-04-16 | 3924 | 4232.1 | -308.1 | 2998.7 | 3027.6 | -29 | | 2018-04-17 | 4559.8 | 5511.2 | -951.4 | 3232.3 | 2508.5 | 723.8 | | 2018-04-18 | 4064.6 | 4980.3 | -915.7 | 3379.1 | 2509.4 | 869.7 | | 2018-04-19 | 4838.4 | 5463.4 | -625 | 3371.4 | 2922.8 | 448.6 | | 2018-04-20 | 5297.5 | 5318.5 | -21 | 4063 | 3952 | 111 | | 2018-04-23 | 4093.4 | 4352.4 | -259.1 | 3299.3 | 2912 | 387.3 | | 2018-04-24 | 4356.2 | 5037.2 | -681 | 3383.4 | 2874.8 | 508.6 | | 2018-04-25 | 4675.3 | 4980.1 | -304.8 | 3445.9 | 3010 | 436 | | 2018-04-26 | 7339.3 | 8395.6 | -1056.3 | 5736.5 | 5052.4 | 684.1 | | 2018-04-27 | 4721.9 | 5481.1 | -759.2 | 3757.3 | 3123.6 | 633.7 | | 2018-04-30 | 3792.2 | 4177.7 | -385.5 | 2180 | 1918.1 | 262 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apr 2018 | -9620.5 | 8663.9 | -956.6 | 20 | | Mar 2018 | 7904.6 | 6694.1 | 14598.7 | 19 | | Feb 2018 | -18619.2 | 17812.8 | -806.4 | 19 | | 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 | --- 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.
