The Indian rupee closed at a record low of 95.31 per US dollar after foreign portfolio investors sold $844 million worth of Indian equities in a single session. The large-scale selling drove sharp dollar demand as investors repatriated funds, pushing the currency to its weakest level ever.
The Indian rupee dropped 82 paise to close at an all-time low of 95.31 against the U.S. dollar, pressured by a stronger dollar and heavy FPI selling. A weaker rupee raises import costs, especially for crude oil, and signals continued stress in India's currency and capital markets.
Foreign portfolio investors have withdrawn Rs 14,231 crore from Indian equities so far in May, citing persistent global macroeconomic uncertainty. Sustained outflows at this scale could pressure benchmark indices and the rupee if domestic institutions fail to offset the selling.
FPI ownership of Indian equities has fallen to a 14-year low, with weekly net outflows hitting ₹14,207.20 crore across exchange and primary market routes. The sustained selling streak raises pressure on Indian stock valuations, particularly in sectors with heavy foreign investor presence.
Foreign portfolio investors pulled ₹13,944 crore out of Indian markets in a holiday-shortened week, with equities hit hardest. Rising crude prices, a firm dollar, and global geopolitical tensions are driving the risk-off move away from emerging markets including India.
Foreign portfolio investors withdrew ₹60,847 crore from Indian markets in April 2026, taking total outflows for the year so far to ₹1.92 lakh crore. The sustained selling is driven by global macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical risks, squeezing market liquidity and weighing on valuations.
Foreign Portfolio Investors have withdrawn a cumulative Rs 1.92 lakh crore from Indian markets in the first four months of 2026, with April recording a fresh round of equity outflows. Sustained FPI selling at this scale pressures Indian stock indices, weakens the rupee, and reduces market liquidity.
Foreign portfolio investors sold ₹60,847 crore worth of Indian assets in April, driving the rupee to a low of ₹85 against the dollar. Heavy FPI selling raises import costs and pressures companies with foreign-currency debt. Whether outflows persist into May will shape the rupee's next move.
