DIIs cushion FII sell-off with Rs 9,134 crore equity buying on June 5

Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) emerged as strong buyers in the Indian equity market on Friday, investing a net ₹9,133.57 crore, helping cushion the impact of continued foreign fund outflows.

According to exchange data, DIIs purchased shares worth ₹22,779.32 crore and sold equities worth ₹13,645.75 crore across the NSE, BSE and MSEI, resulting in a net inflow of ₹9,133.57 crore.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs/FPIs), however, remained net sellers during the session. They bought shares worth ₹11,044.57 crore but offloaded equities worth ₹19,820.82 crore, leading to a net outflow of ₹8,776.25 crore.

Equity benchmark indices ended largely lower after a volatile trading session, with the Nifty slipping below the 23,400 mark as weakness in metal and IT stocks weighed on sentiment.

The Sensex fell 117 points to close at 74,243, while the Nifty declined 50 points to settle at 23,367.

Weekly Trend

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) remained consistent sellers throughout the week, recording net outflows on all five trading sessions. The sharpest selling was seen on June 5 and June 2, with net outflows of ₹8,776.25 crore and ₹8,362.92 crore, respectively.

Over the five sessions, FIIs pulled out a cumulative net ₹31,114.47 crore from Indian equities, reflecting continued caution among overseas investors amid global uncertainties and sector-specific concerns.

FII/DII Cash Market Activity (₹ Crore)

Domestic institutional investors (DIIs), meanwhile, provided strong support to the market, emerging as net buyers each day of the week. DII inflows exceeded ₹9,000 crore on both June 2 and June 5, helping offset foreign selling pressure.

Cumulatively, DIIs invested net ₹33,932.95 crore during the period, more than compensating for FII outflows and underscoring the growing role of domestic investors in stabilizing Indian equity markets.
