Domestic institutional investors buy Rs 6,419 crore to offset foreign selloff

In contrast to foreign outflows, domestic institutional investors stepped in last week, registering a net purchase of Rs 6,419.46 crore. Their buying helped blunt the impact of FPI sell‑offs and provided a cushion for the Indian equity market, preventing further steep declines. Market watchers highlight that the domestic demand is crucial for stabilising prices amid persistent foreign pressure and volatile global macro‑economic conditions.
