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 Aug 2023 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2023-08-01 | 8655.2 | 8748 | -92.8 | 8156.1 | 7120.4 | 1035.7 | | 2023-08-02 | 8266.2 | 10144.1 | -1877.8 | 9312.5 | 9314.7 | -2.2 | | 2023-08-03 | 11379.3 | 11696.8 | -317.5 | 9582.3 | 7853.1 | 1729.2 | | 2023-08-04 | 8674.2 | 9230.6 | -556.3 | 8378.6 | 8012 | 366.6 | | 2023-08-07 | 11709.4 | 13602.2 | -1892.8 | 7491.4 | 6410.6 | 1080.8 | | 2023-08-08 | 10721.8 | 11433.1 | -711.3 | 8809.1 | 8271.8 | 537.3 | | 2023-08-09 | 9342.5 | 8698.4 | 644.1 | 8041.4 | 8639.3 | -597.9 | | 2023-08-10 | 11533.4 | 11202.2 | 331.2 | 9153.8 | 8450.1 | 703.7 | | 2023-08-11 | 9508.1 | 12581.4 | -3073.3 | 8828.2 | 8327.9 | 500.4 | | 2023-08-14 | 7334.7 | 9658.9 | -2324.2 | 7640.8 | 6180 | 1460.9 | | 2023-08-16 | 21056 | 20333.2 | 722.8 | 7977.7 | 5571.5 | 2406.2 | | 2023-08-17 | 11205.1 | 12716 | -1510.9 | 6293.4 | 6607.4 | -314 | | 2023-08-18 | 12302.2 | 12569.2 | -267 | 6501 | 6161.8 | 339.2 | | 2023-08-21 | 8075 | 9976 | -1901.1 | 6157.4 | 5531.2 | 626.2 | | 2023-08-22 | 8854.1 | 9349.2 | -495.2 | 6027.2 | 5493.5 | 533.8 | | 2023-08-23 | 9419.4 | 8805 | 614.3 | 7228.8 | 7103.7 | 125 | | 2023-08-24 | 12992.7 | 11467.9 | 1524.9 | 13050.8 | 7254.2 | 5796.6 | | 2023-08-25 | 10929.6 | 15567.8 | -4638.2 | 8542.4 | 7128.1 | 1414.4 | | 2023-08-28 | 10235.4 | 11628.7 | -1393.2 | 7711.3 | 6447.3 | 1264 | | 2023-08-29 | 10515.5 | 10454 | 61.5 | 8131.9 | 7826.8 | 305.1 | | 2023-08-30 | 10211.3 | 10706 | -494.7 | 8713.4 | 7390.1 | 1323.2 | | 2023-08-31 | 47666.1 | 50639.2 | -2973.1 | 16236.7 | 11854 | 4382.8 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Aug 2023 | -20620.6 | 25017 | 4396.4 | 22 | | Jul 2023 | 15533.1 | -2697.5 | 12835.6 | 21 | | Jun 2023 | 27249.9 | 4458 | 31707.9 | 21 | | May 2023 | 27856.6 | -3306.3 | 24550.3 | 22 | | Apr 2023 | 5711.6 | 2216.7 | 7928.3 | 17 | | Mar 2023 | 1997.7 | 30548.5 | 32546.2 | 21 | | Feb 2023 | -11090.5 | 19239.6 | 8149.1 | 20 | | Jan 2023 | -41464.6 | 33412 | -8052.6 | 21 | | Dec 2022 | -14231 | 24159 | 9928 | 22 | | Nov 2022 | 22546.3 | -6301.3 | 16245 | 21 | | Oct 2022 | -489 | 9276.8 | 8787.8 | 19 | | Sep 2022 | -18308.4 | 14119.7 | -4188.7 | 22 | | Aug 2022 | 22025.8 | -7068.3 | 14957.5 | 20 | | Jul 2022 | -6567.7 | 10546 | 3978.3 | 21 | | Jun 2022 | -58112.2 | 46599.1 | -11513.1 | 22 | | May 2022 | -54292.5 | 50835.5 | -3457 | 21 | | Apr 2022 | -40652.5 | 30842.3 | -9810.2 | 19 | | Mar 2022 | -43281.2 | 39677 | -3604.2 | 21 | | Feb 2022 | -45720.2 | 42084.1 | -3636.1 | 20 | | Jan 2022 | -41346.5 | 21928.4 | -19418.1 | 20 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
