Strong FII Buying Continues for Third Week as Nifty Gains 0.6%; Rs 33,340 Crore Inflows Recorded

November 14, 2026

NEW DELHI: Indian stock markets rallied for the third straight week as strong buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) pushed the Nifty 50 index up by 0.6 percent to 25144.3.

Foreign investors pushed nearly Rs 33,340 crore into indian equities this week, continuing their buying spree after 10 consecutive weeks of selling. However, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) sold equities worth around Rs 24,190 crore.

The rally was driven by improvement in sentiment among foreign investors, partly due to easing crude oil prices. However rising inflation numbers in both India and the United States limited progress.

FIIs and DIIs follow different trends

Foreign investors have returned to Indian equities in force. This latest buying spree comes after 10 weeks of non-stop selling.

Last week FIIs saw net inflows of around Rs 45,960 crore.

Domestically however, DIIs were net sellers for the second consecutive week selling around Rs 24,190 crore worth of equities. DIIs were net sellers for all four trading sessions.

FIIs had seen net outflows of Rs 24,475 crore in October compared to the previous month, when they took Rs 58,443 crore out of the market. DIIs had also seen net outflows of Rs 28,943 crore.

Bank Nifty Outperforms

The Nifty 50 index hit an intra-day high of 25424 points on Wednesday but saw profit taking at the higher levels. The index closed at 25144.3 this week, up 0.6 percent.

The Bank Nifty outperformed, rising 3.7 percent.

The broader indices also saw gains with the Nifty Midcap 100 index rising 2 percent and the Nifty Smallcap 100 rising 2.6 percent.

However the market did see some selling on Friday with the Nifty falling 0.61 percent to close at 25144.3.

US-Iran Tensions and inflation numbers

Investors will be keeping an eye on any geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran.

Price movements in oil will also be important in India as rising crude oil prices can add to inflationary pressures.

Investors will also be watching the minutes from the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and Indian WPI inflation numbers to get clues on what might happen with monetary policy.

However rising inflation numbers in India and the United States have led to fears that interest rates may rise with a hike expected at the next December meeting.

Nifty could go to 28000 by 2027: Citi Research

A report from brokerage Citi Research has said that the Nifty 50 index could hit 28,000 points by the end of 2027.

The outlook for corporate earnings improving, crude oil prices falling and slower capital expenditure on AI related projects globally are expected to drive the index higher.

Continued foreign investment, crude oil prices and domestic inflation are expected to play an important role in driving Indian equities forward in the coming weeks.
