FPI outflows from India reached Rs 52,100 crore in Oct 2026 up to about 18 Oct, taking the 2026 total to Rs 3.12 lakh crore, nearly double the Rs 1.66 lakh crore sold in 2025. Riddhiman Jain, MD of Waterfield Advisors, says developed markets now offer stronger growth and returns, drawing foreign money away from India. I could only read the summary line of his interview and not the full text, so the article attributes only that summary to him.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

FPI outflows from India have been heavy in 2026, with Rs 52,100 crore sold in October so far and Rs 3.12 lakh crore for the year, after 15 straight sessions of selling that ended on 16 Oct. Riddhiman Jain of Waterfield Advisors says developed markets now offer higher growth and a higher return on equity, which pulls foreign investors away from India. He expects markets to stay volatile and uneven until the inflation effect of oil becomes clearer in the coming quarters, and he favours nimble stock-picking over broad bets. Domestic institutions have bought more than Rs 5 lakh crore in 2026, which has cushioned the market, and the Nifty was near 22,990 on 21 Oct.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Persistent FPI outflows from India matter for the rupee, for index heavyweights and for sentiment. The rupee was around 94.8 to 94.9 per dollar on 21 Oct, and Brent crude was near $110 a barrel.<\/p>\n
