Follow the “smart money”. FII/DII data shows how much Foreign (FII/FPI) and Domestic (DII) institutions bought and sold in the NSE cash market each day. When foreign funds exit and domestic funds step in — or when both buy together — the flow tells you who is really driving the Indian market. Updated every trading day with the latest session, a trend chart and full history.

Institutional investors move markets in size. Knowing whether foreign or domestic money is buying tells you where conviction lies.
The two groups:
The relationship between the two groups is more telling than either number alone.
SIPs, insurance premiums and EPFO contributions give DIIs a constant stream of cash to deploy, regardless of global mood.
When FIIs pull out on global risk-off, DIIs frequently step in at lower prices — cushioning the fall and supporting indices.
India’s growing retail-via-mutual-fund base has made DIIs a powerful, stabilising force against volatile foreign flows.
FII/FPI (Foreign Institutional Investors / Foreign Portfolio Investors) are overseas funds that invest in Indian equities. DII (Domestic Institutional Investors) are India-based institutions — mutual funds, insurance companies like LIC, banks and pension funds. Their daily buying and selling moves the market and signals sentiment.
Net = gross buy − gross sell for the day. A positive net value means the group was a net buyer (money flowing into equities); a negative net value means a net seller (money flowing out). We colour inflows green and outflows red.
These are NSE’s provisional cash-market figures, published the same evening after market close. They are the most timely numbers available. Final FPI data from SEBI/NSDL (which also includes the primary market and bulk deals) is released later and can differ slightly.
Domestic institutions receive steady inflows from SIPs, insurance premiums and provident funds, so they frequently absorb foreign selling — adding support to the market. When both FIIs and DIIs buy together, it is usually a strong bullish signal.
No. This page shows the cash (equity) segment only. FII derivatives/F&O positioning is reported separately. The cash flow is the cleanest read of underlying institutional demand for shares.
Once every trading day. We refresh from NSE each evening after the provisional data is published, with a self-healing check so the figures stay current even if a scheduled run is missed.
