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 2026 (₹ crore) | Date | FII Buy | FII Sell | FII Net | DII Buy | DII Sell | DII Net | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-08-03 | 12621.89 | 11699.63 | 922.26 | 18325.97 | 16754.79 | 1571.18 | | 2026-08-04 | 15630.45 | 13183.98 | 2446.47 | 15241.39 | 16177.53 | -936.14 | | 2026-08-05 | 15940.5 | 16883.92 | -943.42 | 19353.43 | 16470.26 | 2883.17 | | 2026-08-06 | 16161.35 | 16179.21 | -17.86 | 19723.68 | 15710.08 | 4013.6 | | 2026-08-07 | 12941.31 | 12461.07 | 480.24 | 15679.58 | 15444.02 | 235.56 | | 2026-08-10 | 13161.56 | 11186.8 | 1974.76 | 15868.51 | 17158.8 | -1290.29 | | 2026-08-11 | 14628.47 | 14369.92 | 258.55 | 15006.72 | 14981.95 | 24.77 | | 2026-08-12 | 16584.64 | 17587.14 | -1002.5 | 21518.55 | 15676.89 | 5841.66 | | 2026-08-13 | 14492.46 | 15003.15 | -510.69 | 16565.14 | 12212.05 | 4353.09 | | 2026-08-14 | 12854.44 | 12346.32 | 508.12 | 14295.49 | 13939.09 | 356.4 | | 2026-08-17 | 11546.16 | 14081.26 | -2535.1 | 16654.08 | 11552.62 | 5101.46 | | 2026-08-18 | 13543.3 | 11891.77 | 1651.53 | 15566.07 | 12986.76 | 2579.31 | | 2026-08-19 | 12875.76 | 12467.77 | 407.99 | 17288.58 | 13314.86 | 3973.72 | | 2026-08-20 | 11411.73 | 11995.09 | -583.36 | 16932.72 | 13395.01 | 3537.71 | | 2026-08-21 | 12560.91 | 13103.62 | -542.71 | 15258.71 | 13134.57 | 2124.14 | | 2026-08-24 | 12332.64 | 11150.98 | 1181.66 | 15337.18 | 12843.77 | 2493.41 | | 2026-08-25 | 13259.03 | 11665.5 | 1593.53 | 14280.18 | 14049.92 | 230.26 | | 2026-08-26 | 17520.49 | 17017.86 | 502.63 | 17710.07 | 11284.91 | 6425.16 | | 2026-08-27 | 15276.94 | 15575.2 | -298.26 | 19605.6 | 14628.43 | 4977.17 | | 2026-08-28 | 13263.62 | 18303.42 | -5039.8 | 16539.38 | 11355.45 | 5183.93 | | 2026-08-31 | 60025.88 | 68011.76 | -7985.88 | 19730.38 | 15141.5 | 4588.88 | ### Monthly net flows, the 24-month ranking window (₹ crore) | Month | FII Net | DII Net | Combined | Sessions | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Aug 2026 | -7531.84 | 58268.15 | 50736.31 | 21 | | Jul 2026 | -5778.99 | 35099.25 | 29320.26 | 23 | | Jun 2026 | -49028.63 | 85800.14 | 36771.51 | 21 | | 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 | ### Sector-wise FPI: largest inflows Sector-wise foreign portfolio investment (FPI) figures come from fortnightly disclosures.
