On the other hand, Parag Milk, Dodla Dairy And Global Health, and IFGL Refractories were major laggards. Around Rs 1,165 crore worth of stocks were sold by FIIs in the market this week, which is the lowest in the last several weeks and shows that buying by foreign investors is returning.At the same time, domestic investors invested Rs 6,977 crore in Indian markets this week.

According to market experts, the situation is once again slowly changing in favour of the ruling dispensation. “The base case scenario appears to be a clear verdict in favour of BJP/NDA. Also, the FII’s massive selling has ceased and they have even turned buyers in recent days,” they said.Going forward, as clarity emerges on the election front, FIIs are likely to buy in India since they cannot afford to miss the post-election results rally.“The rally may begin even before the election result,” they added.
