- DII net: ₹3,201.19 Cr (19-Oct-2026)
- FII buy / sell: 11,241 / 12,389 (₹ crore)
- Advances / declines: 9 / 42
Why these flows matter
FII money is the largest swing factor in Indian equities: sustained foreign buying tends to lift index heavyweights and large-cap financials, while sustained selling pressures them regardless of domestic earnings. DII flows — mutual funds and insurers deploying SIP money — act as the counterweight and have repeatedly cushioned foreign outflows. Read the two together, over a week or a month, rather than as a single-day signal. These are provisional cash-segment figures published after the close and can be revised.
Key takeaways
- FII net: ₹-1,149 cr — lower at the time of writing
- DII net: ₹+3,201 cr — higher at the time of writing
