FIIs dumped ₹1,857.44 cr of shares, DIIs bought ₹2,670.44 cr, net institutional inflow ₹1,134.11 cr, BSE data shows. Sensex slid 252 points to 72,782, Nifty fell 99 points to 22,623.
During the session, FIIs’ net selling rose from yesterday’s ₹1,305.13 cr to ₹1,857.44 cr, while DIIs’ buying climbed from ₹2,439.24 cr to ₹2,670.44 cr, amplifying the net institutional outflow of ₹1,134.11 cr.
The index pair mirrored the flows: Nifty Bank dropped 165 points to 55,316, midcap index fell 50 points to 59,409, yet the advance‑decline ratio of 3:2 kept market breadth positive.
Sectors diverged sharply—IT rallied for a second straight session, outpacing the broader indices, whereas banking stocks lost momentum after two consecutive gains, and life‑insurance shares tumbled amid regulatory chatter.
Individual names confirmed the sector drift: Transformers & Rectifiers leapt 19% after Q2 earnings, BHEL up 5%, Aegis Logistics gained 8% on a stake‑acquisition deal, Vedanta Power surged 11% on group rally, while Shriram Finance and Meesho fell 5% each on profit booking.
Looking ahead, the market will wait for Q4 earnings from IT giants and banking houses, and RBI’s forthcoming monetary policy meeting could tilt sentiment. DIIs may keep buying if inflows persist, while FIIs will likely remain cautious amid global risk‑off mood.
