FIIs continue their buying spree; Invests Rs 5,372 crore

The Indian stock market extended its winning streak for the seventh straight session on March 25, though momentum eased as profit booking took hold in select sectors.

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued their buying spree for the fourth consecutive session, making net purchases of Rs 5,371.57 crore. Meanwhile, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) turned net sellers, offloading shares worth Rs 2,768.87 crore, as per provisional data.

Market Performance on March 25

FIIs bought shares worth Rs 19,066.28 crore and sold shares worth Rs 13,694.71 crore.

DIIs purchased shares worth Rs 11,692.98 crore but sold Rs 14,461.85 crore worth of stocks.

So far in 2025, FIIs have been net sellers of Rs 1.49 lakh crore, while DIIs have bought Rs 1.79 lakh crore worth of equities.

Despite the positive FII inflows, market sentiment remained cautious. The Sensex inched up 32.81 points (0.04%) to close at 78,017.19, while the Nifty gained 10.30 points (0.04%) to settle at 23,668.65.

Sectoral Trends

IT stocks outperformed, with Infosys, TCS, HCL Tech, and Wipro pushing the Nifty IT index over 1% higher.

Broader markets struggled, as the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 slipped 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively.

Pharma, Metal, Oil & Gas, and PSU Bank sectors were among the biggest losers, shedding nearly 1% each.

The Bank Nifty index, which showed gains mid-session, slipped into the red by the closing bell.

While the markets remain in an uptrend, sectoral weakness and profit booking are keeping investors on edge.
