FIIs Buy ₹6,837 Crore as DIIs Step Aside; Quality Names Lead the Board

Foreign investors posted their strongest single-day purchase in weeks while domestic institutions sold. The money flowed into FMCG and IT — a quality rotation that now faces a rate-hike test from the SBI chair's December call.

Foreign investors bought ₹6,836.81 crore of Indian equities today — the heaviest single-day FII purchase in at least five sessions. Domestic institutions did the opposite, selling ₹3,678.85 crore. Nifty 50 closed at 23,582.25, and breadth tilted positive: 1,548 advances against 1,320 declines across the broader market. But the real story was where the money went. FMCG topped the sector board, up 0.96%, with IT and Telecom close behind. This was a quality-first session, not a broad risk-on surge.
