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 May 2025 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-05-02 | 18130.19 | 15360.38 | 2769.81 | 13906.16 | 10615.67 | 3290.49 | | 2025-05-05 | 9365.89 | 8868.1 | 497.79 | 13917.99 | 11129.33 | 2788.66 | | 2025-05-06 | 13471.35 | 9676.83 | 3794.52 | 10963.04 | 12360.72 | -1397.68 | | 2025-05-07 | 16371.71 | 13785.85 | 2585.86 | 13168.99 | 10790.5 | 2378.49 | | 2025-05-08 | 22365.53 | 20357.57 | 2007.96 | 12682.67 | 13278.92 | -596.25 | | 2025-05-09 | 11482.61 | 15281.32 | -3798.71 | 15547.15 | 8269.41 | 7277.74 | | 2025-05-12 | 12775.35 | 11528.87 | 1246.48 | 14684.1 | 13235.73 | 1448.37 | | 2025-05-13 | 17231.19 | 17708.05 | -476.86 | 16551.85 | 12278.05 | 4273.8 | | 2025-05-14 | 14861.07 | 13929.27 | 931.8 | 13602.99 | 13286.68 | 316.31 | | 2025-05-15 | 21412 | 16019.06 | 5392.94 | 14749.54 | 16418.01 | -1668.47 | | 2025-05-16 | 21379.92 | 12548.87 | 8831.05 | 16971.9 | 11784.81 | 5187.09 | | 2025-05-19 | 11817.04 | 12342.99 | -525.95 | 10988.35 | 11226.28 | -237.93 | | 2025-05-20 | 14788.67 | 24804.77 | -10016.1 | 15376.54 | 8638.15 | 6738.39 | | 2025-05-21 | 13355.91 | 11154.12 | 2201.79 | 10555.99 | 9872.22 | 683.77 | | 2025-05-22 | 11608.61 | 16653.97 | -5045.36 | 13348.63 | 9633.63 | 3715 | | 2025-05-23 | 11054.42 | 9259.83 | 1794.59 | 10011.1 | 9711.32 | 299.78 | | 2025-05-26 | 9081.47 | 8945.49 | 135.98 | 10545.16 | 8799.44 | 1745.72 | | 2025-05-27 | 18643.68 | 18295.23 | 348.45 | 19497.42 | 9392.76 | 10104.66 | | 2025-05-28 | 16278.5 | 11615.58 | 4662.92 | 17643.97 | 9731.98 | 7911.99 | | 2025-05-29 | 21278.74 | 20394.71 | 884.03 | 12845.78 | 8559.28 | 4286.5 | | 2025-05-30 | 44434.53 | 50884.27 | -6449.74 | 20673.18 | 11577.27 | 9095.91 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | May 2025 | 11773.25 | 67642.34 | 79415.59 | 21 | | Apr 2025 | 2735.02 | 28228.45 | 30963.47 | 19 | | Mar 2025 | 2014.18 | 37585.68 | 39599.86 | 19 | | Feb 2025 | -58988.08 | 64853.19 | 5865.11 | 20 | | Jan 2025 | -87374.66 | 86591.8 | -782.86 | 23 | | Dec 2024 | -16982.48 | 34194.73 | 17212.25 | 21 | | Nov 2024 | -45974.12 | 44483.86 | -1490.26 | 19 | | Oct 2024 | -114445.89 | 107254.68 | -7191.21 | 22 | | Sep 2024 | 15423.32 | 31860.23 | 47283.55 | 21 | | Aug 2024 | -21368.51 | 48278.65 | 26910.14 | 21 | | Jul 2024 | 5407.83 | 23486.02 | 28893.85 | 22 | | Jun 2024 | 2037.56 | 28633.26 | 30670.82 | 19 | | May 2024 | -42214.2 | 55733 | 13518.8 | 22 | | Apr 2024 | -35692.1 | 44186.1 | 8494 | 20 | | Mar 2024 | 3314.3 | 56311.7 | 59626 | 19 | | Feb 2024 | -15962.7 | 25379.3 | 9416.6 | 21 | | Jan 2024 | -35977.8 | 26743.6 | -9234.2 | 22 | | Dec 2023 | 31959.8 | 12942.3 | 44902.1 | 20 | | Nov 2023 | 3875.6 | 14253.6 | 18129.2 | 21 | | Oct 2023 | -30827.3 | 28253.9 | -2573.4 | 20 | | Sep 2023 | -26692.3 | 20312.9 | -6379.4 | 20 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
