Opening Bell: Nifty 50 Gaps Up +146 Points to 23913.85; DII Inflows Absorb FII Selling | 27 Jul 2026, 09:25 AM IST
By ThePip Desk
Nifty 50 opens strong at 23913.85, marking a significant gap up of +146 points. Domestic institutions continue to provide support, offsetting FII outflows.
The Indian equity market commences the week with a notable upward momentum, as the Nifty 50 opens significantly higher. The benchmark index initiated trading at 23913.85, registering a substantial gap up of +146 points, or +0.62%, compared to its previous close of 23767.45. This strong opening indicates positive sentiment prevailing in the early minutes of Monday’s session.
This robust start occurs against a backdrop of continued selling from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) over the past two trading sessions. FIIs recorded net outflows of −3892.77 crore on July 24 and −2999.23 crore on July 23, marking a consistent trend of net selling. Crucially, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have provided strong counter-support, with net inflows of +5453.55 crore on July 24 and +2947.14 crore on July 23. This sustained DII buying appears to be a primary factor in the market’s resilience and today’s positive opening.
