FIIs Selling Spree Continues in 1st Half of June 2026: Financials, Oil & Gas, and Auto Sectors Leading Outflows

In June 2026, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) maintained their aggressive selling trend in Indian equities.  

Sectors such as financials, oil & gas, and auto experienced the highest outflows, contributing significantly to the ₹40,486 crore divestment by FIIs in the first half of the month, as per the Moneycontrol news report. 

Heavy FII Outflows in Financials, Oil & Gas, and Auto Sectors 

FIIs have consistently offloaded shares in the financial sector, withdrawing ₹11,263 crore in June 2026. This followed net selling of ₹23,141 crore in May 2026 and ₹30,856 crore in April 2026.  

The oil & gas and auto sectors saw FIIs offloading shares worth ₹10,488 crore and ₹9,044 crore, respectively, during the same period. This trend signifies the continued preference of FIIs to liquidate holdings in these key segments. 

Significant Withdrawals from IT and FMCG Sectors 

The IT sector faced FII outflows of ₹6,733 crore in June compared to ₹1,911 crore in May 2026 and ₹4,212 crore in April 2026.  

Similarly, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector recorded FII selling of ₹5,063 crore during June. This marks a continuation of a negative trend from May 2026 and April 2026, with shares worth ₹3,561 crore and ₹3,205 crore, respectively, being sold off. 

Metals, Healthcare, and Capital Goods Experience Outflows 

In addition to the primary sectors, FIIs divested from metals, healthcare, and capital goods, resulting in outflows of ₹4,722 crore, ₹4,501 crore, and ₹2,586 crore, respectively. These sectors witnessed a reversal from May 2026 when they had attracted FII inflows.

Offset by Minor Inflows in Telecom and Services 

Contrary to the general trend, the telecom and services sectors attracted minor inflows, with net FII purchases amounting to ₹373 crore and ₹302 crore, respectively.  

Despite these marginal gains, the cumulative effect of heavy outflows in other sectors dominated the month's market dynamics. 

Conclusion 

In June 2026, FIIs withdrew ₹40,486 crore from Indian equities, significantly impacting sectors like financials, oil & gas, and auto. Inflows in telecom and services sectors were minimal compared to substantial sell-offs in other segments, contributing to over ₹2.74 lakh crore equity outflows in 2026.
