Domestic institutional investors (DIIs), meanwhile, reversed their previous session’s selling and emerged as strong net buyers, investing ₹3,791.42 crore in equities.
On Friday, July 3, FIIs had turned net buyers after a four-session selling streak, purchasing equities worth ₹1,355.33 crore, while DIIs snapped their buying streak by offloading shares worth ₹1,953.89 crore.
The institutional flows came as benchmark indices extended their gains for a fourth consecutive session, supported by strength in banking heavyweights, auto and realty stocks, and gains across select large-cap and mid-cap names.
The BSE Sensex rose 521 points to close at 78,285, while the NSE Nifty advanced 160 points to settle at 24,430. The Nifty Bank climbed 353 points to 58,292, and the Midcap Index added 281 points to end at 62,472, with market breadth remaining positive.
According to a JM Financial report, FIIs remained net sellers in the Indian equity market in June 2026, pulling out $3 billion, while DIIs were net buyers to the tune of $9 billion, underscoring the continued support from domestic investors.
Over the past 12 months, India’s primary markets attracted net FII inflows of around $8.1 billion. However, secondary markets witnessed net FII outflows of approximately $49.3 billion, the report said.
The report added that banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), capital goods, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and oil and gas were the top five sectors in terms of FII shareholding in June 2026.
FII ownership in Indian equities has steadily declined over the past decade, falling to 14.2% in June 2026 from 20% in June 2016. In contrast, DII ownership has risen consistently to 18.7% as of March 2026, according to the report.
