Foreign investors have withdrawn a record $17.8 billion from Indian equities over 23 consecutive sessions, marking the longest selling streak on record through April 7, 2026. The exodus accelerates as six sessions saw outflows exceeding $1 billion each, driven by escalating fears over the global energy crisis’s economic impact on India. Year-to-date withdrawals now approach the 2025 record of $19 billion, with late February to early April accounting for the bulk of the sell-off. Rising oil prices and regional fuel shortages in APAC are cited as key triggers, intensifying pressure on India’s trade deficit and inflation outlook. Analysts warn prolonged outflows could destabilize markets, eroding investor confidence amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty.
