According to provisional exchange data, FIIs sold equities worth ₹26,104.36 crore and bought shares worth ₹24,754.26 crore, resulting in a net outflow of ₹1,350.10 crore.
In contrast, DIIs remained net buyers, purchasing equities worth ₹55,273.85 crore and selling ₹52,472.40 crore, leading to a net inflow of ₹2,801.45 crore.
The flows came on a day when the benchmark indices snapped their two-session winning streak. The Sensex declined 372 points to close at 76,728, while the Nifty fell 110 points to settle at 23,946, slipping below the 23,950 mark.
Heavyweight stocks including Reliance Industries, Mahindra & Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro, Axis Bank and Maruti Suzuki weighed on the benchmarks. Banking stocks also remained under pressure, with the Nifty Bank index dropping 450 points, led by a more than 3% decline in Kotak Mahindra Bank after its Managing Director and CEO Ashok Vaswani said he would not seek another term.

Sectorally, the Nifty Auto index emerged as the biggest loser, with all constituents except Bharat Forge ending in the red. In contrast, the Nifty Metal and Nifty Pharma indices bucked the broader market trend to finish as the top sectoral gainers.
Monday’s flows marked a reversal for FIIs after they had turned net buyers in the previous trading session. DIIs, however, extended their buying streak, continuing to provide support to the domestic market amid volatile global and domestic cues.
Domestic institutional investors had remained consistent buyers through last week, with net inflows accelerating to ₹3,637.26 crore on June 24 and ₹5,747.75 crore on June 25, underscoring their role in cushioning the market against bouts of foreign selling.
