Methodology
- Cadence: fortnightly. Each fortnight ends on the 15th or the last day of the month. This report covers 16 Mar 2026 to 31 Mar 2026; AUM is as of 31 Mar 2026.
- NSDL publishes the official fortnightly sector-wise FPI figures, usually about a week after the fortnight closes, so the latest fortnight appears here once it has been published.
- AUM is the value of FPI assets under custody in each sector at the fortnight end, across equity, debt and hybrid instruments. AUM share is a sector's AUM over the total of all 24 sectors (₹69,57,106 Cr); the shares, rounded to 2 decimals, sum to 100%.
- Fortnight net flow is net investment (purchases minus sales) during the fortnight. The sector flows sum to the total of −₹65,467 Cr.
- 1-year flow is the sum of the 24 fortnightly net flows from the fortnight ended 15 Apr 2025 to the one ended 31 Mar 2026. The sector figures sum to −₹1,52,692 Cr.
- Sectors follow the exchange industry classification used since April 2022. Sovereign (government securities) and Others are not industry sectors: they are in the table and the totals but not in the biggest-inflow and outflow lists.
- These figures include debt and hybrid investment, so they do not reconcile with the daily cash-market FII/DII figures.

Why does this not match the daily FII/DII figures?
Sector-wise FPI figures include debt and hybrid investment and are published fortnightly, so they do not reconcile with the daily cash-market FII/DII figures.
Is this investment advice?
