The Great Institutional Tug-of-War: DIIs Pump ₹12,034 Cr to Counter Massive FII Exit
Domestic Institutions Step Up as FII Outflows Cross the ₹10,000 Crore Mark Amidst Global Panic

In a dramatic display of market resilience, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) launched a massive counter-offensive on Monday, March 23, 2026. As the benchmark indices collapsed under the weight of West Asia tensions, DIIs injected a staggering ₹12,033.97 crore into Indian equities, nearly absorbing the entire selling pressure from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who offloaded ₹10,414.23 crore.
This "tug-of-war" between global caution and domestic confidence has become the defining feature of the current market correction.
