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 2021 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2021-12-01 | 8588.5 | 11354.3 | -2765.8 | 6651.9 | 3184.9 | 3467 | | 2021-12-02 | 9064.6 | 9974.4 | -909.7 | 5828 | 4455.4 | 1372.6 | | 2021-12-03 | 7842.9 | 11199.1 | -3356.2 | 5896.5 | 4247.7 | 1648.8 | | 2021-12-06 | 4130.2 | 7491.5 | -3361.3 | 4780 | 3078.5 | 1701.6 | | 2021-12-07 | 7625 | 10210 | -2585 | 6637.7 | 4031.9 | 2605.8 | | 2021-12-08 | 8150.9 | 8730.1 | -579.3 | 7182.8 | 5447.4 | 1735.5 | | 2021-12-09 | 6194.9 | 7780.5 | -1585.6 | 5623.9 | 4841.1 | 782.8 | | 2021-12-10 | 5595.1 | 6687.5 | -1092.4 | 4477.5 | 4090.9 | 386.6 | | 2021-12-13 | 7862.8 | 10606.2 | -2743.4 | 6301.9 | 4950.9 | 1351 | | 2021-12-14 | 9498.3 | 10261.5 | -763.2 | 5210.6 | 4785.2 | 425.4 | | 2021-12-15 | 5373.7 | 8780.7 | -3407 | 5721.3 | 4168.3 | 1553 | | 2021-12-16 | 7439.8 | 8908.5 | -1468.7 | 5426.6 | 3893.4 | 1533.2 | | 2021-12-17 | 13370 | 15440 | -2069.9 | 9500 | 8021.4 | 1478.5 | | 2021-12-20 | 6744.4 | 10309.8 | -3565.4 | 8746.2 | 5982.2 | 2764 | | 2021-12-21 | 5883.4 | 7093.2 | -1209.8 | 6138.6 | 4733.7 | 1404.9 | | 2021-12-22 | 6162.3 | 6989.6 | -827.3 | 5315.6 | 3722.2 | 1593.4 | | 2021-12-23 | 5415.4 | 5686.9 | -271.6 | 5280.2 | 4083.7 | 1196.5 | | 2021-12-24 | 2360 | 3075 | -715 | 3909.5 | 3952.7 | -43.2 | | 2021-12-27 | 1996.9 | 3035.2 | -1038.2 | 4016.5 | 3060.8 | 955.8 | | 2021-12-28 | 4761.4 | 4554.1 | 207.3 | 4112 | 3544.5 | 567.5 | | 2021-12-29 | 3417.8 | 4393 | -975.2 | 5016 | 4009.1 | 1006.9 | | 2021-12-30 | 4512.1 | 5498.4 | -986.3 | 9450.3 | 8872.6 | 577.7 | | 2021-12-31 | 4083.4 | 3508 | 575.4 | 4853.8 | 3688.2 | 1165.6 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dec 2021 | -35493.6 | 31230.9 | -4262.7 | 23 | | Nov 2021 | -39901.8 | 30560.3 | -9341.5 | 20 | | Oct 2021 | -25572.2 | 4470.9 | -21101.3 | 20 | | Sep 2021 | 913.7 | 5948.8 | 6862.5 | 21 | | Aug 2021 | -2568.5 | 6894.5 | 4326 | 21 | | Jul 2021 | -23193.6 | 18394.1 | -4799.5 | 21 | | Jun 2021 | -25.9 | 7043.6 | 7017.7 | 22 | | May 2021 | -6015.3 | 2067.1 | -3948.2 | 20 | | Apr 2021 | -12693.2 | 11088.8 | -1604.4 | 19 | | Mar 2021 | 1245.3 | 5204.2 | 6449.5 | 21 | | Feb 2021 | 42044.7 | -16358.2 | 25686.5 | 20 | | Jan 2021 | 8980.9 | -11970.6 | -2989.7 | 20 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
