Why are FPIs upset with Indian stocks again? They sold Rs 8749 crore in June:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Share Market: Foreign investors seem to be upset with Indian shares again. In June, foreign investors are again in a selling mood. They have withdrawn Rs 8,749 crore in the first week of the month itself. According to the data of the depository, this big change has been seen after strong investments of Rs 19,860 crore in May and Rs 4,223 crore in April.

Why did the shares suddenly fall?

Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director, Morningstar Investment Research, said that the US investigation on Adani Group has shaken investors' confidence. Adani Group is also accused of violating sanctions related to Iran. These reports have affected market sentiment and the share price has fallen.

Let us tell you that a report in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has given information about whether the companies of Indian businessman Gautam Adani had imported Iranian liquefied petroleum via Mundra Port.

However, the Adani Group has termed these allegations as baseless. Meanwhile, the US Justice Department is investigating the activities of LPG tankers being used to send goods to Adani Enterprises. India currently does not import oil and petrochemical products from Iran due to US sanctions. In May, US President Donald Trump said that countries buying oil or petrochemical products from Iran would not be able to trade with the US.

So far in 2025, the outflow has been so much

Earlier, foreign investors had sold shares worth Rs 3,973 crore in March, Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. With the outflow in June, the total withdrawal from Indian equities so far in 2025 has crossed Rs 1.01 lakh crore.

However, in the meantime, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) gave relief to investors by reducing the repo rate by 50 basis points and the cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points. Foreign investors also sold heavily in the debt market, withdrawing Rs 6,709 crore from the debt general limit and Rs 5,974 crore from the voluntary retention route during June 2-6. The main reason for this is the low difference between the US and Indian bond yields.
