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 2020 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020-10-01 | 4708 | 3075.8 | 1632.2 | 3277.1 | 3017.7 | 259.5 | | 2020-10-05 | 5685.6 | 5448.8 | 236.7 | 2779.6 | 3251.2 | -471.6 | | 2020-10-06 | 6073 | 4971.2 | 1101.8 | 3076.9 | 4011.7 | -934.8 | | 2020-10-07 | 6044.2 | 4950.4 | 1093.8 | 2970.2 | 4099.6 | -1129.5 | | 2020-10-08 | 6586.2 | 5607.9 | 978.4 | 4992.6 | 4972.7 | 19.8 | | 2020-10-09 | 6284.3 | 6323.7 | -39.4 | 4154.2 | 4027.6 | 126.6 | | 2020-10-12 | 6100.2 | 5485.1 | 615.2 | 1960.3 | 2989 | -1028.8 | | 2020-10-13 | 5797.3 | 4965.2 | 832.1 | 3029.2 | 4703.6 | -1674.5 | | 2020-10-14 | 7151.5 | 6329.6 | 821.9 | 2962.7 | 4238.8 | -1276.1 | | 2020-10-15 | 6544.2 | 7148.2 | -604.1 | 3251.1 | 4059.4 | -808.3 | | 2020-10-16 | 4605.5 | 5085.1 | -479.6 | 2545.9 | 2975.7 | -429.8 | | 2020-10-19 | 5994.2 | 4337.4 | 1656.8 | 3278.5 | 4900.2 | -1621.7 | | 2020-10-20 | 6335.7 | 4750.7 | 1585.1 | 2928.2 | 4561.4 | -1633.2 | | 2020-10-21 | 8448.1 | 6339.6 | 2108.5 | 3951.5 | 5585 | -1633.5 | | 2020-10-22 | 8325.7 | 7207.3 | 1118.5 | 3207.4 | 5227.2 | -2019.9 | | 2020-10-23 | 6024.9 | 5118 | 906.9 | 3705.8 | 4597.7 | -891.9 | | 2020-10-26 | 5323.2 | 5442.6 | -119.4 | 3112.2 | 4091.3 | -979.2 | | 2020-10-27 | 11020.9 | 7506 | 3514.9 | 4310.1 | 5880.9 | -1570.8 | | 2020-10-28 | 7833.4 | 8964.4 | -1131 | 3843.2 | 3841.8 | 1.5 | | 2020-10-29 | 5606.5 | 6027.5 | -421 | 3326 | 3579.4 | -253.4 | | 2020-10-30 | 6329.4 | 7200.3 | -870.9 | 2694.1 | 2063 | 631.1 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Oct 2020 | 14537.4 | -17318.5 | -2781.1 | 21 | | Sep 2020 | -11410.6 | 110.2 | -11300.4 | 22 | | Aug 2020 | 15749.9 | -11046.7 | 4703.2 | 21 | | Jul 2020 | 2490.6 | -10008 | -7517.4 | 23 | | Jun 2020 | 5493 | 2434.4 | 7927.4 | 22 | | May 2020 | 13914.6 | 12293.1 | 26207.7 | 19 | | Apr 2020 | -5208.6 | -117.2 | -5325.8 | 18 | | Mar 2020 | -65816.9 | 55594.9 | -10222 | 21 | | Feb 2020 | -12684.6 | 16933.1 | 4248.5 | 20 | | Jan 2020 | -5359.4 | 1073.7 | -4285.7 | 23 | | Dec 2019 | 694.2 | -740.9 | -46.7 | 21 | | Nov 2019 | 12924.9 | -7970.4 | 4954.5 | 20 | | Oct 2019 | 8595.6 | 4758.4 | 13354 | 20 | | Sep 2019 | -6624 | 12491 | 5867 | 19 | | Aug 2019 | -14828.9 | 20933.6 | 6104.7 | 20 | | Jul 2019 | -16870.4 | 20394.3 | 3523.9 | 23 | | Jun 2019 | -688.3 | 3643.4 | 2955.1 | 19 | | May 2019 | -2135.9 | 5316.3 | 3180.4 | 22 | | Apr 2019 | 12749.6 | -4219.4 | 8530.2 | 19 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
