 After pouring in over Rs 80,000 crore in Indian debt securities in first seven months of 2014, overseas investors have pulled out nearly Rs 5,000 crore ($811 million) so far this month.
In comparison, equity markets have seen a modest net inflow of about Rs 100 crore so far in August.
According to the latest data compiled by depositories, foreign investors made gross purchase of equities and debt securities worth over Rs 33,351.67 crore during August, as against sale of about Rs 38,215 crore across the two segments - resulting into a net outflow of Rs 4,863.35 crore ($801.46 million).
