Foreign institutional investors have sold more than Rs 2.5 lakh crore in equities on a net basis during 2026, according to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).

NSDL data highlights scale of selling

The latest figure places total foreign institutional investor, or FII, net sales above the Rs 2.5 lakh crore mark. The data comes as the Nifty and Sensex have declined by as much as 13% in 2026, according to the information provided.

The scale of overseas selling is a key market development because it records the cumulative difference between foreign equity purchases and sales over the year. NSDL’s data provides the reported measure of that activity.

Conclusion

NSDL data confirms that FII net equity sales have surpassed Rs 2.5 lakh crore in 2026, against a backdrop of declines in the Nifty and Sensex.
