What the flow is saying

  • Institutional flow: FIIs were net sellers at −₹5,040 Cr and DIIs were net buyers at +₹5,184 Cr in the cash market. FII activity was above this month's daily average of −₹307 Cr.
  • Domestic institutions bought an amount equal to about 103% of FII net selling that session. A reading above 100% means DII buying exceeded the foreign outflow that day; it does not guarantee index support.
  • FII index-futures contracts are mostly short: about 10% are long as of 28-Aug-2026. Futures positions can change quickly, so use this as context rather than a forecast.
  • Across the last 22 active sessions, cumulative cash flow is −₹6,902 Cr for FIIs and +₹52,408 Cr for DIIs.

Flow & positioning charts

FII and DII cash flow, the running cumulative, and how FIIs are leaning in index futures — the three views market participants check before the open.

Takeaway: FIIs are currently 90% short on index futures — historically extreme positioning.

Coverage: cash provisional flow and NSE participant-wise F&O positioning. F&O positioning history currently spans 1614 captured sessions and extends as the daily backfill runs; figures are exchange-provisional and may be revised.

How to read FII and DII data the way a desk does

FII (foreign institutional investor) and DII (domestic institutional investor) flow shows whether foreign and domestic institutions bought or sold Indian shares on balance.

What the futures data adds

Cash flow shows what institutions did in shares during the previous session. Index-futures data separately shows how many FII contracts were long or short. It is useful context, but positions can change quickly and do not predict the next session.

How much DII buying covered

When FIIs sell and DIIs buy, the percentage compares DII net buying with FII net selling. If FIIs sell ₹2,000 crore and DIIs buy ₹3,000 crore, the reading is 150% because domestic buying was larger than the foreign outflow.

FII DII questions traders ask

What is the difference between FII and DII?

FIIs are foreign institutional investors (overseas funds investing in Indian markets); DIIs are domestic institutions such as mutual funds, insurers and banks. Their net buy and sell figures are reported each session.

Where does this FII DII data come from?

Cash-market provisional figures come from the NSE FII/DII activity feed, and the F&O positioning comes from NSE's participant-wise open interest and volume reports. Provisional numbers can be revised by the exchanges and SEBI.

What does FII index-futures long percentage mean?

It is the share of the FII index-futures book held on the long side. A reading well above 50% points to a long-leaning stance; well below 50% points to a short-leaning stance. It is positioning context, not a recommendation.

How often is the data updated?

Cash provisional flow and the participant F&O reports are published after the close on each trading day and captured into this page for the following session.
