The foreign investors have brought in over Rs.3,700 crores into the Indian stock market in June, thereby raising the total investment amount to over Rs.20,600 core so far during the current fiscal period.

The investment in June is also followed by a lurching inflow of more than Rs. 32,000 crore in preceding three months. The incoming investments are mainly on the hopes of good monsoon expected this year.

“Good monsoons should drive improvement in earnings in 2016-17 and India remains a long-term structural story. Better near-term as well as long-term catalysts might have led to higher flows,” said Nilesh Shetty Quantum AMC Associate Fund Manager Equity.
