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 2026 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-05-04 | 19660.47 | 16824.85 | 2835.62 | 19516.11 | 14751.95 | 4764.16 | | 2026-05-05 | 10392.91 | 14014.49 | -3621.58 | 16234.31 | 13631.69 | 2602.62 | | 2026-05-06 | 14459.21 | 20294.11 | -5834.9 | 22888.16 | 16051.29 | 6836.87 | | 2026-05-07 | 17997.95 | 18338.84 | -340.89 | 17032.05 | 16590.98 | 441.07 | | 2026-05-08 | 15083.49 | 19194.09 | -4110.6 | 21296.87 | 14548.74 | 6748.13 | | 2026-05-11 | 12813.74 | 21251.3 | -8437.56 | 21626.43 | 15686.78 | 5939.65 | | 2026-05-12 | 16555.27 | 18514.66 | -1959.39 | 20684.82 | 12694.5 | 7990.32 | | 2026-05-13 | 14373.99 | 19077.14 | -4703.15 | 18872.65 | 13003.6 | 5869.05 | | 2026-05-14 | 17350.56 | 17163.1 | 187.46 | 18255.96 | 17571.63 | 684.33 | | 2026-05-15 | 16299.6 | 14970.43 | 1329.17 | 14961.88 | 16920.7 | -1958.82 | | 2026-05-18 | 17222.18 | 14408.49 | 2813.69 | 16844.94 | 14162.82 | 2682.12 | | 2026-05-19 | 17907.55 | 20365.04 | -2457.49 | 16951.95 | 13150.27 | 3801.68 | | 2026-05-20 | 14139.56 | 15736.91 | -1597.35 | 16000.79 | 14032.44 | 1968.35 | | 2026-05-21 | 12322.16 | 14213.37 | -1891.21 | 15857.03 | 13364.61 | 2492.42 | | 2026-05-22 | 10972.76 | 15413.23 | -4440.47 | 18436.72 | 12433.19 | 6003.53 | | 2026-05-25 | 12083.12 | 11261.37 | 821.75 | 16434.96 | 12578.08 | 3856.88 | | 2026-05-26 | 13127.02 | 15534.89 | -2407.87 | 15536.74 | 14175.31 | 1361.43 | | 2026-05-27 | 11418.65 | 12461.35 | -1042.7 | 16893.1 | 13072.1 | 3821 | | 2026-05-29 | 89733.64 | 110839.5 | -21105.86 | 36999.7 | 20235.56 | 16764.14 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | May 2026 | -55963.33 | 82668.93 | 26705.6 | 19 | | Apr 2026 | -70135.46 | 51063.87 | -19071.59 | 20 | | Mar 2026 | -122540.41 | 142960.37 | 20419.96 | 19 | | Feb 2026 | -6640.76 | 38423.11 | 31782.35 | 21 | | Jan 2026 | -41435.22 | 69220.74 | 27785.52 | 20 | | Dec 2025 | -34349.62 | 79619.91 | 45270.29 | 22 | | Nov 2025 | -17500.31 | 77083.78 | 59583.47 | 19 | | Oct 2025 | -2346.89 | 52794.02 | 50447.13 | 21 | | Sep 2025 | -35301.36 | 65343.59 | 30042.23 | 22 | | Aug 2025 | -46902.92 | 94828.55 | 47925.63 | 19 | | Jul 2025 | -47666.68 | 60939.16 | 13272.48 | 23 | | Jun 2025 | 7488.98 | 72673.91 | 80162.89 | 21 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
