In the first half of December, foreign investors were very active, putting a lot of money into three main areas: financial services, IT (information technology), and real estate (like homes and commercial properties). They invested ₹7,424 crore in financial services, ₹6,754 crore in IT companies, and ₹4,689 crore in real estate.
However, not all sectors were popular. These investors sold off ₹5,337 crore worth of oil and gas stocks, ₹1,823 crore in auto stocks (like cars and trucks), and ₹1,655 crore in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) shares (like everyday items you buy at the store).
Overall, foreign investors were net buyers, meaning they bought more shares than they sold, totaling ₹22,766 crore in the first two weeks of December. After experiencing some sell-offs in November, investors are now showing more interest in the telecom (like phones and internet) and services sectors, with investments of ₹627 crore and ₹553 crore, respectively, in early December.
Looking at the whole year, the oil and gas sector had the highest amount of money pulled out by foreign investors, totaling ₹50,851 crore in 2024. Financial services also faced significant withdrawals, with almost ₹54,000 crore pulled out.
