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 Dec 2020 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020-12-01 | 11337.2 | 8095.2 | 3242 | 3644.5 | 4687.7 | -1043.2 | | 2020-12-02 | 9295.5 | 8938.1 | 357.4 | 3377.2 | 5013.2 | -1636 | | 2020-12-03 | 14473.2 | 10835.7 | 3637.4 | 4693 | 6132.8 | -1439.7 | | 2020-12-04 | 9863.8 | 6894.2 | 2969.6 | 4062.5 | 6034.1 | -1971.6 | | 2020-12-07 | 8796.1 | 5004.1 | 3792.1 | 4287.1 | 7054.2 | -2767.1 | | 2020-12-08 | 8473.3 | 5563.7 | 2909.6 | 3912.4 | 6553.3 | -2640.9 | | 2020-12-09 | 9574.5 | 6010.2 | 3564.2 | 3834.9 | 6328 | -2493.1 | | 2020-12-10 | 7663.5 | 5403.6 | 2260 | 3390.7 | 5665.9 | -2275.2 | | 2020-12-11 | 10402.1 | 6206.7 | 4195.4 | 3726.2 | 6085.2 | -2359 | | 2020-12-14 | 7589.9 | 5325.5 | 2264.4 | 3814 | 5535.1 | -1721.1 | | 2020-12-15 | 8612.9 | 6128.8 | 2484.1 | 3564.7 | 6231.5 | -2666.8 | | 2020-12-16 | 8209.3 | 6227.6 | 1981.8 | 3748.6 | 5467.1 | -1718.4 | | 2020-12-17 | 8609.4 | 6254.1 | 2355.2 | 3125.7 | 5620.1 | -2494.4 | | 2020-12-18 | 14649.7 | 11928.7 | 2721 | 4224.6 | 6649.2 | -2424.6 | | 2020-12-21 | 6595.7 | 6919.3 | -323.6 | 5948.7 | 5462.5 | 486.1 | | 2020-12-22 | 6616.4 | 5463.4 | 1153 | 5205.2 | 5866.7 | -661.5 | | 2020-12-23 | 5365.7 | 4829.5 | 536.1 | 4040.7 | 5367.6 | -1326.9 | | 2020-12-24 | 5316.2 | 4090.6 | 1225.7 | 3456.2 | 5354.1 | -1897.9 | | 2020-12-28 | 3456.3 | 1867.3 | 1588.9 | 2714.1 | 4100.6 | -1386.6 | | 2020-12-29 | 5426.8 | 3077.2 | 2349.5 | 2386.8 | 4397.3 | -2010.5 | | 2020-12-30 | 5345.6 | 3521.1 | 1824.5 | 3372.4 | 3959.9 | -587.4 | | 2020-12-31 | 6855.3 | 5719.7 | 1135.6 | 4209.7 | 4467.4 | -257.6 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dec 2020 | 48223.9 | -37293.4 | 10930.5 | 22 | | Nov 2020 | 65317.1 | -48319.1 | 16998 | 19 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
