In 2026's first four months, foreign investors withdrew $20 billion from Indian equities, exceeding the total outflows recorded in the entire 2025. This is a signal India shouldn't ignore, as global conditions are considerably less favourable for emerging markets and valuation concerns are weighing more heavily on India, NDTV Profit reported. Foreign-exchange measures also increased hedging costs.
