Foreign investors dumped shares worth 178 crore rupees in the first two weeks of May, as worries over global economy and amended Indo-Mauritius tax treaty hurt the sentiment, reversing the last two months’ bullish trend. However, Foreign Portfolio Investors have invested 595 crore rupees in the debt markets during the period under review.
In March-April, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) had pumped in a net Rs 29,558 crore into equity markets. So far this year, FPIs have invested 12,733 crore rupees in equities while withdrawing 345 crore rupees from the debt market, resulting in a net inflow of 12,388 crore rupees.
