Big Money Returns
Why Foreign Investors Are Betting on India Again!
Global investors are pouring billions back into Indian stocks in 2025! With China cooling off and India heating up with 6.5%+ growth, foreign funds are chasing the next big opportunity — and all roads lead to Dalal Street.
Introduction After a cautious period that saw nearly ₹85,000 crore (~$10.2 billion) exit Indian equities over the past two fiscal years, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have roared back in FY26. Between April and the first week of May 2025 alone, they've injected a staggering ₹12,400 crore (~$1.5 billion) into Indian stocks, signalling a powerful resurgence of confidence in India’s growth story and global positioning.
FPI Inflow: The Numbers Tell the Story As per recent NSDL data:
- FPIs have aggressively invested ₹12,400 crore (~$1.5 billion) in Indian equities between April 1st and May 7th, 2025.
- Conversely, they withdrew a modest ₹1,700 crore from Indian debt markets during the same period, clearly favouring equity exposure.
Why This Sudden Turnaround?
- India’s Robust Economic Growth: The latest projections from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) indicate a 6.7% GDP growth for FY2025-26, positioning India as one of the fastest-growing major economies globally. This robust outlook is a key magnet for international capital.
- Policy Stability & Reforms: The sustained political mandate, coupled with the ongoing positive impact of reforms like the expanded Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme which has now onboarded over 200 companies, offers a predictable and increasingly attractive business environment for foreign investors.
- China+1 Investment Strategy: As evidenced by recent reports from firms like Morgan Stanley highlighting a 35% increase in FDI enquiries for manufacturing in India over the past year, global investors are actively diversifying away from China, with India emerging as the preferred alternative, particularly in sectors like electronics and pharmaceuticals.
- Favourable Global Conditions: With growing consensus around anticipated interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank by the third quarter of 2025, the relative higher yields and strong growth potential of Indian equities are significantly boosting their risk-adjusted returns for foreign investors.
- Stable Rupee & Controlled Inflation: The Indian Rupee (INR) has demonstrated remarkable stability, trading within a narrow band of 74.5-75.2 against the USD for the past six months. Furthermore, the latest CPI data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on May 7th, 2025, shows inflation holding steady at 4.8%, providing a stable macroeconomic backdrop for sustained foreign inflows.
Market Performance Highlights
- The benchmark Nifty 50 index has surged by 6.5% year-to-date (as of May 7, 2025), outperforming many of its global peers.
- The BSE Midcap and SmallCap indices have seen even more impressive gains, rallying by 9.1% and 11.3% respectively during the same period, indicating broad-based investor confidence beyond just large-cap stocks.
- Key sectors attracting significant FPI interest include:
- Financials: HDFC Bank (+7.8% YTD), ICICI Bank (+9.2% YTD)
- Capital Goods: Larsen & Toubro (+12.5% YTD), Siemens India (+10.1% YTD)
- FMCG: Hindustan Unilever (+5.1% YTD), ITC (+6.3% YTD)
Expert Insight “With India’s consumption story gaining further momentum, supported by a stable political climate and a clear focus on structural reforms, we anticipate continued strong FPI inflows throughout the remainder of 2025. The 'India premium' is well-justified.”
— Amit Goel, Chief Investment Strategist, BNP Paribas India, May 2025
Conclusion India is not just back on the global investment radar — it’s shining brighter than ever. Fueled by compelling economic fundamentals, consistent policy execution, and increasing global strategic interest, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for foreign-driven equity momentum. The global investment community has made its verdict clear: India is the market to watch.
