FII DII positions Indian 2026: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continue as net sellers in the Indian stock market as of April 11, 2026, amid persistent global uncertainties, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) uphold aggressive net buying to bolster stability.
Latest Trading Positions
FIIs/FPIs prolonged their selling momentum through the week’s close. Provisional data for April 10 indicates FII net sells around ₹9,200 crore across NSE, BSE, and MSEI, countered by DII net buys of approximately ₹8,500 crore, underscoring the enduring divergence.
Prior sessions align with this: April 7 showed FII net sells near ₹9,500 crore offset by DII buys of ₹8,200 crore; April 2 logged ₹8,331 crore FII outflows against ₹7,172 crore DII inflows; April 1 had ₹8,072 crore FII sells balanced by ₹7,019 crore DII purchases; and March 30 featured ₹10,573 crore FII sells met by ₹14,261 crore DII buys.
NSE provisional updates and Research360 data reveal FII cash net sells from ₹4,367 crore to ₹11,163 crore into early April, with DII buys up to ₹14,895 crore; April 11 weekend figures await Monday’s open, but patterns suggest continuity pending NSDL/CDSL finals.
FII DII positions Indian 2026: Monthly and YTD Trends

Key Drivers Behind Positions
FII outflows reflect layered global pressures, chiefly the US-Iran war escalating since late 2025. With crude oil breaching $108/barrel, India’s import expenses have ballooned 20-25%, aggravating the rupee’s over 5% 2025 slide and stoking inflationary fires.
Geopolitical fallout from the conflict, US tariff hikes, disrupted supply chains, and subdued Q4FY26 earnings forecasts intensify FII caution and flows back to US safe havens.
DII accumulation highlights homegrown fortitude, driven by explosive SIP expansion (97% mutual funds positive through 2025), RBI support, and SEBI reforms—shielding markets from war-fueled energy and commodity swings. Banking, IT, and FMCG sectors command prime DII interest.
Market Impact and Outlook
FII DII positions Indian 2026: FII disposals heighten Nifty swings, as in April 10’s 1.5-2.2% pullback on ₹9,200+ crore sells amid fresh US-Iran flare-ups, crude surges, and derivative rollovers—yet DII offsets restrain drops, steadying benchmarks near 22,100-22,700.
DIIs routinely capture 80-95% of FII sells, warding off steep routs even in extended geopolitical strife.
Investors must navigate near-term risks from conflict spikes and oil volatility, but domestic inflows signal enduring strength. Watch NSDL/CDSL settlements, RBI forex moves, and Middle East diplomacy cues.
Horizon improves via US-Iran truce hopes, solid Q4 results, and US-India dealmaking; persistent DII thrust sets Nifty on course for 24,500+ if FII flows pivot with tension relief.
