Domestic Investors Cushion Indian Equities Amid FII Outflows

Veteran investor Manishi Raychaudhuri says persistent FII selling over roughly the last 18 months has been offset by steady domestic institutional inflows, notably about $3 billion monthly via SIPs. He notes valuations cooled since September 2024 (premium down from 87% to about 35–36%), but falling consensus EPS (down ~4.5% over six months) keeps FII flows subdued.
