FPIs Remain Net Sellers for Fifth Day, Offload Stocks Worth Rs 4,900+ Crore
17 Nov
Summary
- FPIs have been net sellers for the past 5 days
- Offloaded stocks worth over Rs 4,900 crore
- Nifty 50 near 26,000, investors await trade deal catalyst
As of November 17, 2025, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have remained net sellers in the Indian stock market for the fifth consecutive day, offloading stocks worth more than Rs 4,900 crore. This sustained selling pressure from FIIs has prevented the market from breaking into new record highs, according to analysts.
Despite the Nifty 50 benchmark hovering near the key psychological level of 26,000, market participants are closely monitoring a potential trade deal as a crucial trigger for further upward movement. Analysts believe the risk-reward ratio is currently favorable, bolstered by stronger-than-expected Q2 earnings from midcap companies, which have reinforced confidence in growth revival and point to potential future earnings upgrades.
Experts note that a change in FII strategy is necessary for the market to sustain new record highs, which in turn requires steady improvement in earnings growth, likely to materialize from Q3 onwards. If the global trade environment remains stable, it would be a helpful factor for the market's continued uptrend.
