Synopsis: FIIs have increased holdings in select small-cap stocks by up to 9.35 percent over four consecutive quarters, reflecting rising institutional confidence across manufacturing, infrastructure, and specialty sectors despite broader market volatility and uncertainty.

FIIs have been steadily increasing exposure in select small-cap stocks over the past four quarters, indicating growing institutional confidence in niche opportunities across the segment. The trend highlights consistent accumulation in companies operating in manufacturing, infrastructure, logistics, and specialty export-linked sectors during FY26.

This sustained buying pattern reflects rising interest in India’s industrial and high-growth small-cap themes despite broader market volatility. The steady rise in institutional ownership suggests improving conviction in earnings visibility, sectoral tailwinds, and long-term growth potential within these focused business segments.
