FIIs dumped ₹30.3 cr of Indian equity, DIIs pumped ₹30.3 cr, leaving a net institutional inflow of ₹1.17 cr for the week—breaking an eight‑week losing streak for the Sensex and Nifty.
On Friday alone, FIIs were net sellers of ₹3.57 cr, whereas DIIs net buyers of ₹4.74 cr, a swing that pushed the daily net flow to a modest ₹1.17 cr. FIIs bought ₹10.37 cr and sold ₹13.94 cr that day, while DIIs purchased ₹15.63 cr and sold ₹10.88 cr.
Across the five trading days, FIIs consistently sold, topping out at a ₹12.94 cr outflow on Oct 8, the strongest net sell‑side outflow of the week. DIIs, by contrast, delivered steady net buying, peaking at ₹10.70 cr on the same day. The weekly totals saw FIIs sell ₹95.90 cr and buy ₹65.61 cr, while DIIs bought ₹95.43 cr and sold ₹65.12 cr.
Sectoral reaction was uneven: metals, realty and power indices fell by up to 4%, whereas capital markets, FMCG and PSU banks rose by as much as 3%. Thirty stocks dragged the market, losing up to 7% each, with Adani Enterprises, Max Healthcare, JSW Steel, Hindalco Industries and Bharat Electronics among the biggest fallers. Gainers included Trent, BSE, Kotak Mahindra Bank, TCS, Bharti Airtel and ITC.
Looking forward, the RBI’s upcoming monetary policy meeting next week could tilt sentiment, and the first-quarter earnings cycle is set to start in early November. Market participants will be watching whether DIIs sustain buying momentum and whether FIIs re‑enter the market ahead of the earnings season.
Analysts expect the Sensex and Nifty to maintain a 1‑2% weekly rally if DIIs continue to support the market, but any sign of increased FII selling could quickly reverse the trend.
