Share Market: Due to Israel and America’s attacks on Iran and Tehran’s action against it, selling pressure by foreign investors is increasing on the Indian stock market. However, domestic institutional investors (DIIs), including mutual funds, insurance companies, banks and pension systems, are stepping in to support the market. In the last eight trading sessions, domestic investors have invested more than Rs 58000 crore in the market.
There has been a continuous sequence of ups and downs in the Indian stock market since 24th February. During this period, both benchmark Sensex and Nifty have declined by about 5 percent. This has also affected the border market. The BSE 150 Midcap index declined by 3.4 percent and the BSE 250 Smallcap index declined by 4.1 percent. During this period, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold shares worth more than $ 1 billion. That is, on one hand, the pressure on the stock market is increasing due to selling by FIIs, while on the other hand, domestic investors are supporting it by placing more and more bets.
DIIs are continuously making bets
On February 24, when Sensex and Nifty fell by 1.3 percent, DIIs bought shares worth Rs 3160 crore. On February 25 and 26, when the market remained largely flat, DIIs bought shares worth Rs 5119 crore and Rs 5031 crore one after the other. Later, during the market correction, buying intensified. On February 27, March 2 and March 4, when both Sensex and Nifty fell by about 1.2%, 1.3% and 1.4%, DIIs bought shares worth Rs 12300 crore, Rs 8600 crore and Rs 12000 crore one after the other.
When the market improved on March 5, DIIs bought equities worth more than Rs 5154 crore. Buying continued even during the market decline on March 6. On this day DIIs placed bets worth more than Rs 6971 crore in Indian equities. According to NSE’s provisional data, between February 1 and February 23, DIIs invested around Rs 14,000 crore in the Indian stock market, while in January it was around Rs 70,000 crore.
DII investment crosses Rs 1 lakh crore
With this purchase, DII investment in Indian equities so far in 2026 has crossed Rs 1 lakh crore, a figure achieved in approximately 39 trading sessions. In comparison, in 2025, DII had crossed its first investment mark of Rs 1 lakh crore in just 31 trading sessions. In the entire year 2025, DIIs invested about Rs 7.75 lakh crore in Indian equities, which is much more than the investment of Rs 5.23 lakh crore made in 2024.
