Stock exchange data reveals that domestic institutional investors purchased Rs 5.3 lakh crore worth of Indian equities through three quarters of 2025. This figure exceeds the complete 2024 investment total of Rs 5.22 lakh crore. Mutual funds drove this investment surge by acquiring Rs 3.65 lakh crore in shares. Monthly systematic investment plan contributions exceeded Rs 25,000 crore during this period. Insurance firms and pension funds contributed an additional Rs 1 lakh crore to equity markets.
Market analysts detect early signals of declining investment momentum amid stagnant returns and global economic pressures. Indian stock indices underperformed international markets, with the Sensex advancing 2 percent and Nifty rising 4 percent in dollar terms. Foreign institutional investors sold Rs 1.8 lakh crore of Indian stocks during 2025. Redemptions from small-cap and thematic funds increased as investors shifted money toward real estate investments. Corporate earnings growth above 15 percent in fiscal 2027 may reverse foreign investor sentiment according to market experts.
