FPI holdings of Indian equity by the investor’s country of registration, as CDSL reports it each month (the ten largest and the rest). A fund registered in Singapore or Mauritius often manages money from elsewhere, so this is where the investing vehicle sits, not always where the money started.
| Country | Equity held | Bar | Share | Change since Nov 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States of America | ₹29.22 L Cr | 44.8% | −10.6% | |
| Luxembourg | ₹4.66 L Cr | 7.1% | −15.2% | |
| Ireland | ₹4.6 L Cr | 7.0% | −2.4% | |
| Singapore | ₹3.73 L Cr | 5.7% | −23.6% | |
| United Kingdom | ₹2.91 L Cr | 4.5% | −14.9% | |
| Mauritius | ₹2.55 L Cr | 3.9% | −18.0% | |
| Norway | ₹2.51 L Cr | 3.9% | −13.0% | |
| Japan | ₹1.84 L Cr | 2.8% | −17.3% | |
| Canada | ₹1.72 L Cr | 2.6% | −11.4% | |
| France | ₹1.3 L Cr | 2.0% | −31.1% | |
| All other countries | ₹10.21 L Cr | 15.6% | −9.8% |
Total FPI equity holdings ₹65.26 L Cr. The change is in the value held, so it moves with share prices as well as buying and selling. CDSL’s monthly country table; a few months it printed wrongly (its countries not adding up) are left out.
When FPIs sell, are India’s active equity funds buying? Both sides month by month and sector by sector.
The daily figures: foreign investors by asset, domestic institutions by type.
How much brokers have lent investors to buy shares, every trading day, and which companies the money is in.
Net investment and holdings (assets under custody) by sector, as reported by custodians to the depositories and published by CDSL every fortnight, in rupees. A month’s figure is its two fortnights added together; a month whose second fortnight is not out yet is shown as “so far” and never compared as a full month. A month’s percent is its net investment against FPI holdings at the end of the month before.
Equity only: government bonds (“Sovereign”) are left out. CDSL has used the stock exchanges’ common industry classification since April 2022, which is where the history here starts. Companies CDSL cannot classify are under “Others”.
Not the same as the daily FII/DII figures. The exchanges’ evening FII figures are provisional trading data. The depository figures here are settled and cover every route into a company, including IPOs and placements, so the two never match exactly.
