Methodology

  • Figures are provisional cash-market (equity) trading by FIIs/FPIs and DIIs on NSE, BSE and MSEI, published by the exchanges after each session, in ₹ crore.
  • Net is gross buying minus gross selling. 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.
