New Delhi, Sept. 2 -- Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have been net sellers of Indian stock markets for most of 2025, making it the worst year so far in terms of outflows.

According to NSDL data, FPI selloff swelled to Rs.1,39,618 crore so far in 2025. After remaining net sellers in the Indian stock market for two months (July and August), the outflows continued with foreign investors offloading nearly Rs.9000 crore worth of stocks on the first day of September.

However, interestingly, at the time when the Indian secondary market is reeling under pressure from this FPI selloff and Trump's tariff tantrum, the primary market is enjoying strong interest from these foreign players.
