FII vs DII in June 2026: heavy start, quiet finish

June in one paragraph

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold a net ₹49,029 crore of Indian equities in June 2026. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought a net ₹85,800 crore. The Nifty 50 closed May at 23,547.75 and June at 23,865.75, up 1.35%.

Almost all of the FII selling was over by 9 June. The rest of the month was close to balanced.

Every figure is NSE's provisional cash-market number in ₹ crore, the same series shown session by session on our FII and DII data page.

June in numbers

The month had 21 sessions.

• The first seven sessions, 1 to 9 June, carried ₹41,236.2 crore of FII net selling, 84% of the month. The heaviest were 5 June (−₹8,776.2 crore) and 2 June (−₹8,362.9 crore).
• The other 14 sessions added only ₹7,792.5 crore. FIIs were net buyers on five of them, most notably 19 June, at ₹4,859.1 crore.
• DIIs were net buyers on 20 of the 21. Their one day of net selling was 19 June, at −₹1,159.6 crore, the same day FIIs bought most.
• DII gross purchases of ₹4,22,822 crore are the largest of any month in our record, which starts in September 2024, slightly ahead of March 2026's ₹4,14,657 crore.

The index turned when the selling eased

The Nifty 50's low for the month was 23,123.00 on 8 June, inside the heavy-selling stretch. From there it rose 3.2% to its month-end close, with the biggest single gain on 12 June, +1.99%.

The timing lines up, but it is worth being careful about the direction of cause. The flows show FIIs selling less after 9 June. They do not show whether the selling eased because prices had stabilised, or prices stabilised because the selling eased, or neither.

A full year of net selling

June is the twelfth month in a row of FII net selling. The last month of net buying was June 2025, at ₹7,489 crore. Over the twelve months from July 2025 to June 2026, FIIs sold a net ₹5,29,812 crore and DIIs bought ₹9,00,747 crore.

The first half of 2026 closes with FIIs net sellers of ₹3,45,744 crore and DIIs net buyers of ₹4,70,137 crore. Over the six months, DII buying exceeded FII selling by ₹1,24,393 crore.

July has begun quietly. On 1 July FIIs sold a net ₹1,140.5 crore, DIIs bought ₹3,159.2 crore, and the Nifty 50 rose 0.59% to 24,005.85.

What this does not tell you

One month's shape is not a turning point. June's quieter stretch after 9 June is three weeks of data.

DII is not one investor. Mutual funds, insurers, banks and pension funds all sit inside the figure, buying for different reasons.

The figures are provisional and partial. NSE publishes them each evening for the cash market, rounded here to ₹0.1 crore a day. They exclude derivatives, debt and IPO allocations, so they will not match NSDL's monthly FPI totals.

A flow is not a forecast. Twelve months of selling describes what has happened, not what July holds.
