Foreign investors infuse ₹1209 cr in Indian equities this week, net outflow in June stands at ₹4192 cr: NSDL

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 21 (ANI): Foreign investment in the Indian equity market remained positive during the week from June 16 to June 20, though the net inflows declined compared to the previous week, as per the latest data released by the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). According to the data, foreign investors made net inflows worth ₹ 1,209 crore in Indian equities this week. The inflows were largely supported by significant buying activity on Wednesday and Friday. Market experts attributed this trend to foreign participation in several block deals offered during the week, along with notable inflows on Friday due to the FTSE rebalancing. Siddhartha Khemka, Head Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services told ANI "FPI inflows this week has been driven by buying seen in several blocks offered during the week as well as large inflows on Friday due to FTSE rebalancing. Overall Indian economy stands strong driven by healthy economic growth multi year low inflation, rate cut by RBI as well as prospects of a above normal monsoon". Despite the positive movement this week, foreign portfolio investment (FPI) flows for the month of June so far continue to remain in the negative. As of June 20, the net outflows by foreign investors stood at ₹ 4,192 crore. However, this is an improvement from the previous week (ending June 13), when net outflows were higher at ₹ 5,402 crore. This reduction in outflows reflects some signs of stabilization in FPI sentiment. Khemka added that the recent inflows are being driven by India's strong economic fundamentals. These factors are collectively boosting investor confidence and encouraging selective foreign investment, even amid global uncertainties. Looking ahead, he suggested that both global and domestic factors will influence FPI trends in the coming week. Key global triggers include geopolitical developments, fluctuations in crude oil prices amid tensions in middle east, and the approaching deadline for the imposition of US reciprocal tariffs. On the domestic front, important drivers will be macroeconomic indicators, institutional buying support, and sector-specific triggers such as monsoon progress, consumption trends, and infrastructure push. These elements are expected to determine stock specific movements and FPI behaviour in the short term. Earlier in May, the net foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows remained in positive and stood at ₹ 19,860 crore, making May the best-performing month so far this year in terms of foreign investment. The previous months' data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth ₹ 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth ₹ 78,027 crore and ₹ 34,574 crore, respectively.

Lilavati trust slaps ₹1,000-crore defamation suit on HDFC Bank CEO

MUMBAI: The legal confrontation between the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMM Trust), which runs the prominent Lilavati Hospital in Bandra West, and HDFC Bank CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan escalated this week, with the trust filing a ₹ 1,000-crore defamation lawsuit against the banker. This move comes just two days after Jagdishan approached the Bombay High Court seeking to quash an FIR that accuses him of accepting a ₹ 2.05 crore bribe in a case linked to the trust. Lilavati trust slaps ₹ 1,000-crore defamation suit on HDFC Bank CEO Filed before a civil court, the suit accuses Jagdishan of making 'malicious, false, and defamatory statements' against the trust and its permanent trustee Prashant Mehta. In a strongly worded statement, the trust said the legal action was necessary to counter what it described as a 'coordinated campaign' to malign its reputation and obstruct its functioning as a public charitable institution. Separately, the trust has also filed a criminal complaint with a magistrate court in Girgaon. On June 16, the court issued notices to Jagdishan, HDFC Bank CEO Madhu Chibbar, the bank's corporate communications head, and others named in the complaint. 'This marks a significant step in holding the HDFC CEO accountable for what the trust alleges is a deliberate and sustained smear campaign,' the trust said. Responding to Jagdishan's court petition, the trust questioned his attempt to discredit valid judicial orders and FIRs. 'We have full faith in the Indian judiciary. Unlike Mr Jagdishan, who seeks to label due legal process as frivolous, we have followed the rule of law at every step,' it said. The trust also challenged HDFC Bank's claim of a ₹ 65 crore loan tied to Splendour Gems, a firm owned by the Mehta family. 'The bank initially cited an outstanding of ₹ 5 crore. This sudden escalation to ₹ 65 crore is an imaginary figure, a smokescreen created by Jagdishan to distract regulators and the public from his own corruption,' the trust alleged. Among the more serious accusations is that Jagdishan accepted free medical treatment and was involved in facilitating illegal financial transactions—including a ₹ 2.05 crore bribe, ₹ 48 crore in undisclosed deposits, and ₹ 1.5 crore allegedly routed to doctors under the guise of CSR. 'The ₹ 48 crore was deposited without the consent of founder-trustees and without mandatory high court approval, despite an operational injunction. This constitutes gross contempt of court,' the statement said. Calling the bank's allegations baseless and unsupported by documentation, the Trust reiterated that it has never been a borrower of HDFC Bank. 'On the contrary, we have been a lender—placing ₹ 48 crore in fixed deposits and bonds,' it said. 'This is not just a legal battle. It is a stand for truth and institutional accountability. When the head of a major financial institution targets a charitable trust with falsehoods while failing to back his claims with documents, it becomes clear the intent is not justice but intimidation,' said Prashant Mehta, permanent trustee of LKMM Trust. In his plea before the High Court two days ago, Jagdishan has strongly denied all allegations, calling the FIR 'malicious and vindictive' and accusing the complainant of misusing the name of the Lilavati Trust to settle personal scores.
