According to provisional exchange data, FIIs purchased equities worth ₹15,650.20 crore and sold shares worth ₹15,450.15 crore, resulting in net inflows of ₹200.05 crore.
Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) remained strong buyers, recording net purchases of ₹3,189.26 crore.
The return of foreign buying came on a day when benchmark indices extended gains for a second consecutive session. The BSE Sensex surged 736 points to close at 76,264, while the Nifty climbed 231 points to settle at 23,854, reclaiming the 23,850 mark.
Investor sentiment improved significantly after the United States and Iran confirmed a deal aimed at ending the conflict, easing concerns over a wider regional escalation. The development also triggered a sharp correction in global crude oil prices, with Brent crude falling more than 5%.
Lower oil prices are viewed as a positive for India, one of the world’s largest crude importers, as they help reduce import costs and ease inflationary pressures. The decline sparked buying in oil marketing companies and other sectors sensitive to fuel prices, while upstream energy producers remained under pressure.
Heavyweights including Reliance Industries, Mahindra & Mahindra and Maruti Suzuki were among the biggest contributors to the benchmark rally. The gains were broad-based, with 14 Nifty constituents advancing more than 2%.
The strength was also visible beyond frontline stocks. The Nifty Midcap Index jumped 782 points to 61,550, while market breadth remained firmly positive, with advancing stocks outnumbering decliners by roughly four to one on the NSE.

The Indian rupee also strengthened to a one-month high against the US dollar, adding to the positive sentiment.
Monday’s buying marked a notable shift from the previous session, when FIIs had remained net sellers of ₹1,082 crore while DIIs purchased equities worth ₹5,341 crore.
