Global Funds Cut India Exposure as AI Boom and Valuations Shift Focus
This Fin Shorts piece explores the recent trend of global funds reducing their exposure to Indian stocks. Amidst a significant AI investment boom and shifting market valuations globally, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have been observed pulling substantial capital from Indian equities. This FII selling has led to foreign ownership in NSE-listed companies reaching a 17-year low. While approximately $25 billion has exited Indian markets due to this AI-led rotation, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have stepped in, buying around $60 billion worth of stocks. This DII buying has helped to cushion the impact of foreign selling, maintaining stability in the Indian stock market. Lumic's take suggests that a potential valuation reset might eventually make Indian equities more appealing to global investors once again.
