Foreign investors have sold around $12 billion worth of Indian equities so far in 2026, reflecting continued risk-off sentiment toward the market. The outflows are largely driven by global factors, including rising geopolitical tensions, higher oil prices, a strong U.S. dollar, and relatively elevated valuations in Indian stocks compared to other markets. This sustained selling has contributed to volatility in benchmark indices like the Sensex and Nifty, with financial stocks particularly affected due to higher foreign ownership. Despite these pressures, domestic institutional and retail investors have helped cushion the impact, suggesting that the sell-off is more a result of global capital reallocation than a deterioration in India’s underlying economic fundamentals.
