FIIs dumped ₹25,500 crore from Monday to Wednesday, with Wednesday alone accounting for ₹10,148.41 crore in net selling, according to NSE data.
The outflow climbed day‑by‑day: ₹5,353 crore on Monday, ₹9,980 crore on Tuesday, and ₹10,148 crore on Wednesday, underscoring a steady sell‑off trend.
In contrast, DIIs posted net purchases of ₹11,271.73 crore, buying ₹24,413.76 crore and selling ₹13,142.03 crore, lifting the combined FII‑DII net position to a modest ₹1,123.32 crore.
The market mirrored the flows: Sensex slipped 49 points to 72,480, while Nifty fell 96 points to 22,620, falling short of the 22,700 support level. Nifty Bank rose 373 points to 54,633, buoyed by gains in ICICI and Kotak, hinting that bank earnings may rescue the broader index.
Sector‑level shifts added nuance: pharma stocks dipped—Glenmark down 4% after a Supreme Court probe; auto indices stalled at +0.5% ahead of monthly sales; insurance names like SBI Life and Max Financial fell up to 3%.
Looking ahead, traders will monitor Q4 earnings from banking heavyweights and the court’s ruling on price mark‑ups, with the next earnings calendar set for early October.
