Flows & Positioning in Jun’26 Q - FIIs trim Financials; DMFs add Discretionary/Healthcare; US

$115bn potential foreign inflows

Foreign investors aggressively reversed course in the second half of June, injecting around $3.3bn over the last 27 trading

sessions driven by tactical rotation to non-AI cohort, falling oil prices in 2Q, policy measures to stabilize INR and robust

earnings expectations (ex-energy sector). Consumer services, including e-commerce and hotels, attracted the highest foreign

buying during the first half of July, followed by Metals and Mining and Healthcare ( Figure 80 FPIflows-FinancialsandAutosfacethebruntofforeignselingthisyear). We believe the selling pressure

will continue to ease as foreign ownership has come down to 15.8%, which is a 15-year low ( Figure 2 DIownershipcontinuestoincrease,whileFIownershipcontinuestofal). At the same time, FIIs

appear to be maintaining a preference for mid- and small-cap segments to capitalize on higher-growth sectors and longer

runway for expansion. If foreign LO investor groups were to neutralize their underweight in Indian equities, this could translate

into potential net inflows of around $115bn. During the Jun’26 quarter, FIIs trimmed their OW in Financials and UW in

Industrials ( Figure 5 FIsectorpositioninginBSE50).
