Domestic institutional investors have etched their name in market history by overtaking FIIs in Nifty50 holdings, a feat revealed in Motilal Oswal Securities’ latest analysis. By December 2025 quarter-end, DIIs held 24.8% versus FIIs’ 24.3%, flipping a long-standing dynamic. Analysts call it an enduring transformation. FII presence hit rock bottom over eight quarters, countered by DII fortification. Fueling this rise: 2025’s ₹3.34 lakh crore SIP boom and pension funds’ growing footprint. EPFO and insurance inflows provide bedrock support. Five-year trends show DIIs driving returns while FIIs sold ₹9.96 lakh crore. Metrics spotlight DII advances against FII retreats. Asset values confirm DIIs at $24.8 billion, leading FIIs at $24.3 billion. India’s domestic engine now powers sustained market progress.
