Strong entry by FIIs! The market received support from $2 billion in buying. Will this trend continue?

FII Inflow February 2026: Foreign institutional investors have been buying heavily in the Indian stock market over the past few sessions. After a prolonged period of selling, foreign institutional investors now appear to be returning to the Indian market.

FIIs have consistently been net buyers over the past nine trading sessions. During this period, they have invested over $2 billion in Indian equities. This shift in foreign investor sentiment has supported the market. At the same time, this could also provide positive signals to domestic investors. Let's explore this topic...

What do the figures say?

Data shows that the buying sentiment in the stock market has been steadily strengthening over the past few days. Of the nine trading sessions between January 28th and February 6th, foreign investors remained buyers for six days, while only three sessions saw light selling. On February 9th, FIIs invested approximately ₹2,200 crore in the market. 

Additionally, domestic institutional investors' confidence in the market remained intact. During this period, domestic investors purchased shares worth over ₹9,000 crore. The combined buying by foreign and domestic investors has clearly had a positive impact on the market. The Indian market has been showing strength over the past two trading sessions.

Better valuations boosted foreign investor confidence.

Experts believe that the Indian stock market is now at a more balanced level than before, as the reason behind this shift in foreign investor sentiment. The Sensex and Nifty are currently trading near their 10-year average valuations.

The Indian market is once again attracting foreign investors. Previously, the Indian market was considered significantly more expensive than other Asian markets. However, after the recent correction, this gap has narrowed significantly. Consequently, FIIs are renewing their confidence in the market. 

future prospects

According to market experts, it's not easy to reach any conclusions. This rally will depend on factors such as the global environment, dollar prices, corporate earnings, and more. If the Indian market receives support on all these fronts, foreign investors' confidence in the market may remain intact.
