What is the story about?
Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) provided strong support to Indian equities on Wednesday, emerging as net buyers while foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net sellers.
DIIs purchased shares worth ₹17,274.01 crore and sold equities worth ₹13,636.75 crore, resulting in a net inflow of ₹3,637.26 crore. FIIs, meanwhile, bought shares worth ₹16,744.73 crore and sold equities worth ₹18,588.13 crore, leading to a net outflow of ₹1,843.40 crore, according to provisional exchange data.
The latest FII outflow comes a day after foreign investors had turned marginal net buyers. On Tuesday, FIIs recorded net purchases of ₹17.86 crore, buying equities worth ₹15,396.07 crore and selling shares worth ₹15,378.21 crore. The reversal in flows on Wednesday underscored the continued caution among overseas investors despite the broader market rally.
Benchmark indices ended sharply higher, shrugging off foreign outflows. The BSE Sensex rose 791 points to close at 76,991, while the Nifty 50 gained 198 points to settle at 24,022, near the day's high.
The rally was led by heavyweight banking and information technology stocks, with ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Infosys among the key contributors. The Nifty IT index also advanced after Axis Capital upgraded eight IT stocks.
Banking shares further lifted sentiment, with the Nifty Bank index surging more than 1.5%, or 967 points, to close at 58,150. Nearly all banking constituents ended in positive territory, helping the broader market maintain its upward momentum.
The Indian rupee also strengthened during the session, appreciating 11 paise to settle at 94.65 against the US dollar.
