Methodology & Classification Notes

  • The RBI reference rate was used for INR‑to‑USD conversion; the end‑of‑period rate was applied uniformly.
  • From 30 Apr 2020, FPIs’ Debt‑VRR holdings are included; from 31 Aug 2024, Debt‑FAR, Mutual Funds and AIF holdings are incorporated; from 15 Sep 2024, net‑investment figures for these segments are also captured.
  • Sector classification follows the BSE Common Industry Classification (CIC) effective 30 Apr 2022, covering ~4,800 issuers; any issuer outside this list is grouped under “Others”.

Key observations

  • Financial Services remains the dominant sector, contributing ≈ 27 % of total AUC.
  • The “Others” category showed the strongest relative growth, driven primarily by debt inflows into a concentrated set of private‑investment vehicles.
  • Net investment flows were broadly stable across the two half‑month windows, indicating continued foreign appetite for Indian securities despite a slight dip in total AUC.
