Overall Purpose

The document presents a comprehensive snapshot of Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) holdings in India, detailing Assets Under Custody (AUC) and net investment flows for the month of September 2026. Figures are expressed in Indian Rupees (crore) and converted to US million using the RBI reference rate as of the period‑end.

Aggregate AUC and Net Investment

  • Total AUC across all sectors as of 30 Sep 2026 stands at ₹66,17,164 Cr.
  • Net investment for the full month of September 2026 is USD 95.9832 million, derived from the RBI end‑of‑period reference rate.
  • For the first half of the month (01‑15 Sep), AUC was USD 95.9253 million and net investment matched this figure, indicating negligible net inflow/outflow in the early period.
  • The slight increase from USD 95.9253 million to USD 95.9832 million reflects a modest net purchase of approximately USD 0.058 million in the second half of September.

Methodological Notes

  • Inclusion Dates: Net investment and AUC for FPIs in the Debt‑VRR segment have been reported since 30 Apr 2020; Debt‑FAR, Mutual Funds and AIF segments have been included from 31 Aug 2024 (AUC) and 15 Sep 2024 (Net Investment).
  • Currency Conversion: All INR figures are converted to USD using the RBI reference rate prevailing on the period‑end date. The conversion yields USD 95.9253 million (01‑15 Sep) and USD 95.9832 million (16‑30 Sep).
  • Classification Framework: The sector classification follows the BSE Common Industry Classification (effective 30 Apr 2022). Issuers not mapped to the 4,800 listed entities are grouped under “Others”.

Observations

  • The overall AUC of ₹66.17 Lakh Cr underscores the continued depth of FPI participation in Indian capital markets, with equity holdings dominating the portfolio.
  • Net investment remained largely flat month‑on‑month, suggesting a period of consolidation after earlier inflows.
  • The decline in the “Others” debt AUC for the top ten companies points to selective repositioning within non‑core issuers, while core sectors such as Financial Services and Automobile continue to attract FPI capital.
  • Sector‑specific shifts (e.g., the rise in Automobile equity and the dip in Oil‑Gas debt) may reflect investors’ sectoral outlooks amid global commodity price volatility and domestic consumption trends.
