About this Dataset

FII stands for foreign institutional investors or portfolio investors. They are investors from other countries who put their money in Indian stocks. These are foreign banks, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, mutual funds, investment trusts and the like. DII are the domestic institutional investors comprising local mutual funds, banking and financial firms, domestic pension funds, insurance companies, and more.

FIIs look at the global market when domestic investors look at the domestic market. DIIs are essential for strengthening the domestic market, especially in the Indian market where participation is low, domestic institutional investors improve market liquidity by investing in larger chunks of equities.
