and Activity
Investment flows for Friday, June 12, 2026, revealed a divergence in institutional activity. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their selling trend, recording a net outflow of −1,082.18 cr. This selling pressure from foreign investors was, however, comfortably absorbed by Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs), who showed robust buying interest with a substantial net inflow of +5,341.29 cr. The strong support from DIIs played a crucial role in cushioning the market against FII selling and contributing to the day’s positive close.
Overall, the Indian equity market displayed resilience and positive momentum, largely driven by strong domestic institutional buying and broad-based gains across major indices and several sectors, despite continued FII outflows.
