In the second half of June 2025, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) infused flows into auto, oil and gas, financial services, telecom and information technology (IT), and consumer services. On the other hand, power and capital goods sector saw the highest outflows during the said period.

FPI data is closely tracked by investors as it gives insights into how foreign investors are reading India’s sectoral trends and it also helps to understand where the smart money is going.

Auto Sector Sees Highest FPI Inflows

According to National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), between June 16 and June 30, FPIs bought shares worth Rs 5,020 crore in the auto sector, the highest inflow across sectors. During this time period, the Nifty Auto gained 2.33 per cent.

Auto stocks were buoyed by a steady growth outlook, and reports suggesting that India may source rare-earth materials from Australia, reducing reliance on China. This development was seen as a positive for EV manufacturing, where these materials are critical inputs.

Oil & Gas, Financials Too Saw FPI Inflows

FPIs also infused Rs 4,938 crore in the Oil & Gas sector, and Rs 4,261 crore in the Financial Services sector. Following these sectors, Telecommunication and IT sectors saw inflows of Rs 3,620 crore and Rs 2,879 crore, respectively.
