Foreign Portfolio Investors Withdraw $65 Billion from Indian Equities
What happened
Akash Prakash of Amansa Capital noted that foreign investor sentiment toward India is at its worst ever. Since September 2024, foreign portfolio investors have withdrawn an estimated $65 billion from Indian equities. Indian equities have underperformed emerging-market indices by about 7,500 basis points since that time.

Why it matters
The capital outflow has caused India's weight in the MSCI Emerging Markets index to fall from around 21% to about 10%. Despite low foreign confidence, some market veterans remain optimistic about medium-term returns, citing corrected valuations and reasonably strong earnings growth.
