Institutional Face-Off: FIIs Dump ₹8,692 Crore While DIIs Mount a Massive Support Wall
Domestic Institutions Shore Up Markets with ₹7,980 Crore Buy-In Amid Global Geopolitical Anxiety and 8 PM Iran Deadline

The Indian equity markets witnessed an intense institutional tug-of-war on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) accelerated their exit from Indian shores, offloading a net ₹8,692.11 crore in the cash market. This aggressive selling comes as global fund managers brace for the potential fallout of President Trump’s 8:00 PM ET deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
In a mirrored act of resilience, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) staged one of their largest defensive maneuvers of the new financial year, pumping in a net ₹7,979.50 crore. This massive domestic absorption successfully neutralized the foreign exodus, allowing the benchmark indices to not only recover from a gap-down opening but to close the day with gains for the fourth consecutive session.
