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 Mar 2019 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2019-03-01 | 9442.2 | 9243.9 | 198.4 | 3650.7 | 3533.6 | 117 | | 2019-03-05 | 5496.1 | 4744.2 | 751.9 | 4916.2 | 4335.4 | 580.9 | | 2019-03-06 | 6369 | 5238.2 | 1130.8 | 3503.6 | 4382.1 | -878.4 | | 2019-03-07 | 5349.4 | 4211.5 | 1137.8 | 3111.7 | 4037.2 | -925.5 | | 2019-03-08 | 5038.5 | 3943.5 | 1095.1 | 2944.9 | 3415.6 | -470.7 | | 2019-03-11 | 8163.2 | 4352.6 | 3810.6 | 3317.7 | 5273.2 | -1955.6 | | 2019-03-12 | 8613.9 | 6136.2 | 2477.7 | 4184.7 | 5175.2 | -990.5 | | 2019-03-13 | 8602.7 | 5880.4 | 2722.3 | 3332.9 | 4841 | -1508.1 | | 2019-03-14 | 5646 | 4163 | 1483 | 2805.8 | 3623.6 | -817.8 | | 2019-03-15 | 16119.5 | 11796 | 4323.5 | 4013.3 | 6143.6 | -2130.4 | | 2019-03-18 | 5570 | 3747 | 1823 | 2988.5 | 4257.4 | -1268.9 | | 2019-03-19 | 6162 | 4029.6 | 2132.4 | 2957.2 | 4210.9 | -1253.7 | | 2019-03-20 | 7252.4 | 5480.8 | 1771.6 | 3319 | 4642.2 | -1323.2 | | 2019-03-22 | 8149.9 | 6775.4 | 1374.6 | 4456.3 | 5131.6 | -675.4 | | 2019-03-25 | 6510.3 | 6359.9 | 150.4 | 3207.2 | 3219.7 | -12.5 | | 2019-03-26 | 4916.7 | 3917.7 | 999 | 3766.1 | 3962.8 | -196.7 | | 2019-03-27 | 6961.1 | 5480 | 1481.1 | 3987.8 | 3852.9 | 134.9 | | 2019-03-28 | 10170 | 6575.4 | 3594.5 | 7066.2 | 9146.4 | -2080.2 | | 2019-03-29 | 9044.6 | 9130.8 | -86.2 | 7108.4 | 5384 | 1724.4 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Mar 2019 | 32371.5 | -13930.4 | 18441.1 | 19 | | Feb 2019 | 13564.7 | -566 | 12998.7 | 20 | | Jan 2019 | 127.5 | 2146.9 | 2274.4 | 23 | | Dec 2018 | -1103.5 | 375.6 | -727.9 | 20 | | Nov 2018 | 4934.1 | 1309.5 | 6243.6 | 19 | | Oct 2018 | -29201 | 26033.9 | -3167.1 | 21 | | Sep 2018 | -9468.7 | 12503.9 | 3035.2 | 18 | | Aug 2018 | -2228.7 | 2822.7 | 594 | 21 | | Jul 2018 | -2768.7 | 3845.8 | 1077.1 | 21 | | Jun 2018 | -10249.1 | 14146 | 3896.9 | 21 | | May 2018 | -12359.5 | 15054.5 | 2695 | 22 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
