Domestic investors proved to be the real 'heroes' of the stock market, handling sales worth Rs 145 crore every hour on their own.
Foreign investors sold shares, and domestic investors made a flurry of purchases. They managed the situation by purchasing shares worth 39,965 crore rupees, thus preventing further pressure on the stock market.
Foreign investors are withdrawing money from the Indian stock market at a rate never seen before. So far in 2025, FIIs have sold approximately ₹152 crore worth of equities per trading hour. However, domestic institutional investors have cushioned this blow thanks to continued SIP investments.
You sold, and we bought
Foreign investors sold over ₹2.23 lakh crore worth of Indian shares through the secondary market this year. According to the trading calendar, this equates to approximately ₹900 crore worth of shares sold each trading day, or approximately ₹152 crore worth of shares sold each hour of market hours. However, the comforting thing is that despite this persistent selling pressure, benchmark indices have remained resilient. This trend continued in December as well.
Foreign investors have sold their share of Indian shares on all trading days so far this month. They have sold approximately ₹15,959 crore through the exchanges. Taking on the responsibility of managing this situation, they have purchased shares worth approximately ₹39,965 crore during the same period. This suggests that domestic investors, not foreign investors, are currently in control of the market. Experts also believe that if domestic investors had not taken this step, the pressure on the market would have increased even more.
Big contribution of SIP
The contribution of SIPs in managing the situation cannot be denied. For the past three consecutive months, there has been continuous investment in SIP mutual funds. During this period, SIP inflows amounted to ₹29,445 crore. Continued investment in SIP mutual funds demonstrates that investors' confidence in the Indian stock market remains intact. Long-term SIP investments are providing stability to the market. Thus, while FIIs are selling shares on one hand, DIIs are maintaining balance by investing in shares.
