Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) made significant moves in the equity market during the June quarter of 2025, purchasing stocks worth ₹1.16 lakh crore. This strong buying trend, which slightly surpassed the previous quarter’s figure, signals robust domestic investor confidence despite global uncertainties.

Data from exchanges shows DIIs were net buyers of equities in all three months of the quarter. They bought ₹18,063 crore worth of shares in April, ₹55,411 crore in May, and ₹43,496 crore in June. This consistent investment flow helped counterbalance the selling pressure from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who turned net sellers in June.

Among the many stocks that saw increased DII interest, three stood out for receiving aggressive buying and recording over a 15 percent increase in DII holdings.

DII holding in Vishal Mega Mart jumped to 27.3 percent, up by around 15.1 percentage points during the quarter. The retail chain, known for its extensive footprint of more than 700 stores, has been growing steadily. In FY25, the company reported over ₹7,800 crore in sales from its own-brand portfolio, highlighting its strong brand appeal and expansion strategy.

 Details on the second stock were not fully disclosed in the original report, but it also experienced a similar spike in DII shareholding, driven by strong fundamentals and growth potential. Likewise, the third firm drew institutional interest due to its robust performance and favorable outlook. The stock’s DII holding also rose by over 15 percentage points.

Experts believe the buying spree reflects a focus on companies with strong fundamentals, brand leadership, and scalable business models. With FIIs withdrawing ₹4,892 crore in June, DIIs played a crucial role in providing market stability.

Market analysts also note a shift in the broader equity landscape. As of March 31, 2025, DIIs held 17.62 percent of the Indian equity market, surpassing the FII share for the first time. This trend suggests growing influence and confidence among domestic investors.

The data signals that DIIs are increasingly becoming key drivers of Indian equity markets, favoring companies with long-term value and strong operational performance. Investors are advised to monitor such institutional trends closely, as they often reflect informed investment decisions backed by thorough analysis.
