Explanation of variables

What each term and each series in the FPI, FDI and MF tabs means, in simple words.

Terms

FPI (foreign portfolio investor)A foreign fund or institution registered in India to buy Indian shares and bonds: for example global funds, pension funds, insurers and banks. FPIs buy securities. They do not set up or buy into companies as owners, which is foreign direct investment (FDI) and is a separate line.
FIIThe older name for the same group. NSE still labels its daily figure "FII/FPI".
DII (domestic institutional investor)Indian institutions that invest in the market: mutual funds, insurers, banks, pension funds and similar.
NSDLNational Securities Depository Limited, the depository where FPIs hold their Indian securities. Its FPI Monitor reports how much FPIs bought and sold each business day, across every route.
NSENational Stock Exchange. It publishes provisional net buying and selling by foreign and domestic institutions on the exchanges each evening.
SEBI, AMFI, RBISEBI is the market regulator and publishes what mutual funds trade. AMFI is the mutual fund industry body and publishes SIP and fund inflow data. RBI is the central bank and publishes FDI data.
Net, gross buying, gross sellingGross buying is everything bought in the period. Gross selling is everything sold. Net is buying minus selling: a positive net is money coming in, a negative net is money going out.
Stock exchange route and primary market routeMoney that moves through the stock exchanges (buying and selling existing shares) versus money that goes to a company directly when it issues new shares: IPOs, placements and similar deals. NSDL reports both. NSE reports only the exchange trades.
General limitThe main route for FPIs in Indian bonds. RBI sets a yearly cap, as a share of the bonds outstanding, on how much FPIs can hold under it. Most FPI bond buying counts here.
VRR (Voluntary Retention Route)An RBI route started in 2019. An FPI promises to keep its money invested for a minimum period (three years at the start) and in return faces fewer rules on how it invests. From April 2026 RBI counts VRR investments under the general limits. NSDL still reports VRR as its own line.
FAR (Fully Accessible Route)An RBI route started in April 2020 for a list of Government of India bonds that foreign investors can buy with no cap on how much. The list is set by RBI. These are the bonds that global bond indices include, so FAR is where index related buying shows up.
HoldingsWhat FPIs hold at the end of a month, valued at that month end. It is a balance at a date. It rises and falls with market prices and the rupee as well as with flows.
SIP (systematic investment plan)A fixed amount an investor puts into a mutual fund every month. SIP contributions are the total of those monthly payments.
AUM (assets under management)The total value of what a fund, or all funds of a type, hold at a date.

Series in the FPI, FDI and MF tabs

Foreign portfolio investors (NSDL)
FPI, all routesNSDL's own total of net FPI money across every route it reports: equity, debt, hybrid, mutual funds and AIFs. It is NSDL's figure. The tool does not add anything up to produce it.
Equity
FPI, equityNet buying of Indian shares by FPIs: the stock exchange route plus the primary market route. This is NSDL's headline equity figure and the one most often quoted for "FPI buying".
FPI equity, on the stock exchangesThe part of FPI equity that went through the stock exchanges. Closest to what NSE reports. Daily, in rupees only. Monthly is the sum of the days.
FPI equity, primary market and othersThe part of FPI equity that did not go through the exchanges: IPOs, placements and other direct deals. It is why NSDL's equity figure can differ from NSE's. Daily, in rupees only.
FPI equity, gross buyingEverything FPIs bought in shares in the day, before subtracting their sales. Rupees only. Compare with gross selling to see how busy the day was.
FPI equity, gross sellingEverything FPIs sold in shares in the day, before netting against their purchases. Rupees only.
Debt
FPI, debt (all routes)Net buying of Indian bonds by FPIs across the three routes below: general limit, VRR and FAR.
FPI debt, general limitNet bond buying under the general limit, the main FPI route into Indian bonds. RBI sets a yearly cap on it.
FPI debt, VRRNet bond buying under the Voluntary Retention Route, where an FPI commits to stay invested for a minimum period. From April 2026 RBI counts it under the general limits, and NSDL still reports it as its own line.
FPI debt, FAR (index-eligible bonds)Net buying of the government bonds on RBI's Fully Accessible Route list, which have no cap for foreign investors. These are the bonds that global bond indices hold, so this line shows index related buying and selling.
Mutual funds, hybrid and AIFs
FPI, mutual fundsFPI money put into Indian mutual fund schemes, as NSDL reports it. It is a different thing from the Indian mutual fund series under the MF tab, which show what Indian investors put into funds.
FPI, hybridFPI money in hybrid securities. SEBI created this reporting category in 2017 for units of real estate and infrastructure investment trusts (REITs and InvITs), which have features of both debt and equity. NSDL reports it as its own line.
FPI, AIFsFPI money put into alternative investment funds (AIFs), which are private pooled funds.
Holdings (month-end balances)
FPI equity holdings, month endThe value of Indian shares FPIs hold at month end. It is a balance at a date. It moves with share prices and the rupee as well as with buying and selling. Rupees only, from January 2012.
FPI total holdings, month endThe value of everything FPIs hold in India at month end: shares, bonds and the rest. It is a balance at a date. Rupees only, from January 2012.
Mutual funds and SIP (SEBI, AMFI)
Money investors put into funds, net (AMFI, monthly)
SIP contributionsThe total of monthly SIP payments investors made into mutual funds, as AMFI reports it. Gross money in, into every type of fund. The fund inflows are net of redemptions, so the two are different measures. From April 2016.
Equity fundsMoney investors put into equity mutual funds minus what they took out, in the month. From April 2019.
Debt fundsNet money into debt funds, including liquid funds, in the month. From April 2019.
Hybrid fundsNet money into hybrid funds (funds that hold both shares and bonds) in the month. From April 2019.
Index funds, ETFs and overseas fund of fundsNet money into index funds, ETFs and overseas fund of funds. AMFI reported these as one group until July 2026, so they stay together here. From April 2019.
Retirement, children's and life cycle fundsNet money into retirement, children's and life cycle funds, which AMFI calls solution oriented schemes. From April 2019.
All funds, the whole industryNet money into every mutual fund scheme in the industry, including close ended and interval funds. From April 2019.
Fund assets at month end (AMFI)
All funds, the whole industryTotal fund assets of the whole industry at month end (AMFI). It is a balance at a date. It moves with markets as well as with money in and out.
Equity fundsAssets held by equity funds at month end. It is a balance at a date.
Debt fundsAssets held by debt funds at month end. It is a balance at a date.
Hybrid fundsAssets held by hybrid funds at month end. It is a balance at a date.
Index funds, ETFs and overseas fund of fundsAssets held by index funds, ETFs and overseas fund of funds at month end. It is a balance at a date.
What funds buy and sell on the exchanges (SEBI, daily)
Equity bought, netWhat mutual funds bought in shares on the exchanges minus what they sold, as SEBI reports it. This is the funds' own trading after investors' money has come in. From April 2007.
Debt bought, netWhat mutual funds bought in bonds on the exchanges minus what they sold (SEBI). From April 2007.
Direct investment (RBI)
FDI, netForeign direct investment into India minus Indian companies' investment abroad, in US$ billion. RBI, about two months behind and revised later.
FDI into India, net of repatriationForeign direct investment into India after money taken back out has been deducted. A net figure. RBI, US$ billion.
FDI by India, net of repatriationIndian companies' direct investment abroad after money brought back has been deducted. A net figure. RBI, US$ billion.

Foreign investors: NSDL and NSE

Both report foreign investors. They measure the group in different ways, so the figures differ.

NSE reports foreign institutional trades on the stock exchanges. NSDL reports FPIs across every route. That includes the stock exchange and also the primary market and others, for example IPOs.

NSDL's headline equity figure is the exchange route plus the primary market route. The tool shows the two routes as separate lines: "FPI equity, on the stock exchanges" and "FPI equity, primary market and others".

NSDL debt, hybrid and fund flows have no NSE counterpart. FDI comes from RBI only.

The same days in both sources (Rs crore, net)

NSE trading dayNSE FII/FPINSDL report dateNSDL exchange routeNSDL primary marketNSDL equity total
22 Oct 2026-3,45923 Oct-2,262+2,417+155
27 Oct 2026+4,24028 Oct+4,198+6,386+10,584
3 Nov 2026+6,8374 Nov+6,899+154+7,053
23 Oct 2026+88826 Oct+2,098+174+2,272

NSDL reports a trading day one working day later, so each row pairs an NSE day with the NSDL report after it. The next section explains the two dates.

Primary market can change the picture. On 22 October NSE shows net selling of Rs 3,459 crore. NSDL's equity total for 23 October shows net buying of Rs 155 crore. The exchange route was net selling of Rs 2,262 crore and Rs 2,417 crore of primary market buying offset it. On 27 October the NSDL equity total of Rs 10,584 crore holds Rs 6,386 crore from the primary market.

Exchange figures are close on some days and apart on others. On 27 October and 3 November the NSE and NSDL exchange figures are within about 1% of each other. On 23 October NSE shows Rs 888 crore and NSDL Rs 2,098 crore. From 14 October to 4 November 2026 the two agreed in direction on every session compared. The reason for the size gaps has not been established. NSE's figure is provisional.

A news report that quotes one large day of foreign buying usually uses the NSE basis. Check which source a figure comes from before comparing it with this tool.

Reporting day and trading day

NSDL dates each day's FPI flows by the day it reports them. The tool shows NSDL's dates by default and offers the trading day as an option.

NSDL's dates. Custodians report a day's FPI trades on the next working day. NSDL prints that later date. NSDL's own page says each entry holds trades "on and up to the previous trading day(s)". NSDL's monthly figure adds up the entries by these dates. News reports quote this figure.

The trading-day option. The Date control on the daily chart and the Month control on the monthly chart switch to the day the trades happened. Each NSDL entry moves back to the previous NSDL report date. A Monday report goes back to the Friday before it. A report after a holiday goes back to the last day NSDL reported.

Entries that hold more than one trading day. Since 2012 about 3% of entries hold two or three trading days. This happens on a Saturday session, on Muhurat trading or when the depository was closed and the exchanges were open. The tool shows such an entry on its first trading day. The NSE trading calendar from March 2012 tells which entries these are. The daily download lists the extra days in the column more_trading_days.

How far the two months can differ. NSDL reports FPI equity for October 2026 as net selling of Rs 34,843 crore. It holds the trades of 30 September (Rs 9,232 crore of selling, reported on 1 October). It leaves out the trades of 30 October (Rs 4,458 crore of buying, reported on 2 November). By trading month October 2026 is net selling of Rs 21,153 crore. A month whose first or last trading day is large moves the most.

Check against the calendar. From 2017 every trading date the tool gives falls on an NSE trading day. Twelve entries in 2013 to 2015 and five in 2005 and 2006 fall on days outside the calendar we hold. These are under review. NSDL's own dates for those entries are unchanged.

Reading the labels

FPI says who is investing: foreign portfolio investors. Exchange, primary market and others say how the money moved. NSE's FII/FPI line covers FPIs trading on the exchanges.

Flow is money moving in or out over a period. Holdings is the balance at a date. Holdings change with market prices and the rupee as well as with flows.

Countries are the domicile of the fund. The investor behind a fund can be in another country.

The tool covers money coming into India. Outbound flows and remittances are not included.

Sector data

NSDL publishes sector figures for two periods in each month: the 1st to the 15th and the 16th to month end. Each appears about 5 to 9 days after its period ends. A month's full sector view is therefore complete in the first ten days of the next month.

The figures are FPI net equity investment in each sector as NSDL reports it. NSDL also reports a sector total that includes debt. The tool shows the equity figures.

NSDL changed its sector list on 30 April 2022. The tool shows the current list and the older list separately.

Units and revisions

1 crore is 10 million. Rs crore figures are as the source publishes them. NSDL's US$ figures are NSDL's own. RBI publishes in US$ only.

Every table keeps the date and unit of its own source. A figure from one source is never added to or netted against another.

NSDL months and fortnights that are complete have not changed between the releases compared. NSE figures are provisional. RBI revises earlier months.

The Validation tab lists the checks run on each release and every result that falls outside rounding.
