Domestic institutional investors (DIIs), meanwhile, extended their buying streak, purchasing equities worth ₹2,057.79 crore during the session.
Provisional exchange data showed FIIs bought shares worth ₹14,388.41 crore and sold equities worth ₹14,921.27 crore, resulting in a net outflow of ₹532.86 crore. DIIs purchased shares worth ₹18,302.87 crore and sold equities worth ₹16,245.08 crore, leading to a net inflow of ₹2,057.79 crore.
On July 8, FIIs were net buyers of Indian equities worth ₹1,962.80 crore, while DIIs also remained buyers with purchases worth ₹790.16 crore, according to exchange data.
The shift in FII flows came as Indian benchmark indices recovered on Thursday. The BSE Sensex rose 238 points to close at 76,742, while the NSE Nifty gained 81 points to settle at 23,963, reclaiming the 23,950 mark.
The benchmark indices snapped a two-day losing streak, although both finished below their intraday highs.
Bharti Airtel, HDFC Bank and Sun Pharma were among the biggest contributors to the Nifty’s gains during the session. The Nifty Bank index climbed 510 points to 57,252, while the Nifty Midcap index outperformed the broader market, advancing 844 points to 62,167.
Market breadth remained firmly positive, with the NSE advance-decline ratio at 3:1 in favour of advancing stocks.
Despite the recovery in equities, foreign investors remained cautious amid evolving global developments.
