Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) poured about ₹30,313 crore into Indian equities, a sum that nearly equalled the foreign investors’ net outflow during the same week.
Foreign investors were net sellers on each session from October 5 to October 9, creating sustained selling pressure. The DII purchases, however, provided enough buying support for the Sensex and Nifty to close higher, snapping an eight‑week losing streak.
The episode highlights how domestic capital can offset short‑term foreign volatility, restoring market momentum after a prolonged decline by a modest margin.
