What causes FII outflows from India?

Common triggers: US interest rate hikes (makes dollar assets more attractive), rupee depreciation fears, global risk-off events, India-specific policy changes (tax surcharges, regulatory actions), and relative valuation concerns (India trading at a premium to peers).

Are DII flows always positive?

Not always, but DII flows have been structurally positive since 2017 because of systematic investment plans in mutual funds. Monthly SIP inflows of ₹18,000–20,000 crore create a steady bid regardless of market conditions.
