Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) and Market Liquidity
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) played a crucial role in the market rally. After a period of outflows, FPIs returned with fresh buying, boosting liquidity and overall sentiment. Analysts believe the renewed FPI interest in Indian equities could sustain market momentum in the coming weeks.
Primary Market Activity: IPO Performance
Arisinfra Solutions IPO is set to launch on March 20, 2025, with a fresh issue of ₹600 crore. Investor interest remains high due to the company’s strong fundamentals.
