What is FII/DII (Foreign & Domestic Institutional Investors)?
FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors) and DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors like mutual funds) are the two largest pools of capital driving Indian stock market flows.
Formula
Net FII/DII = Buy Value - Sell Value (tracked daily by exchanges)
How to Interpret
FII selling often triggers short-term market drops. DII buying provides a cushion. The FII-DII tug-of-war shapes Indian market direction.
Typical Ranges
Track net flows daily. Sustained FII outflows (>ā¹5,000 Cr/month) are concerning.
