DII Holdings in Nifty 500 Hit Record 21% as FII Stake Declines

Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have reached a record 21% holding in Nifty 500 companies, signaling a shift in market dominance as Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) stakes hit an all-time low.

The trend reflects a robust inflow of domestic retail capital through mutual funds, which has helped stabilize the market despite a net outflow of ₹3,624 crore from foreign investors this week.

Market experts note that the increased DII participation provides a buffer against global volatility, though FIIs remain critical for liquidity in large-cap stocks.
