FPIs pull ₹20,974 crore from Indian equities in September

Foreign portfolio investors withdrew ₹20,974 crore from Indian equities in September, reversing July-August inflows. Total FPI outflow in 2026 hit ₹2.45 lakh crore, surpassing 2025's full-year figure. High US interest rates, rising crude oil above $100/barrel, and a weakening rupee — hitting record low of 95.92 per dollar — are key reasons.
