At the end of Jun 2026, foreign portfolio investors owned 15.9% of NSE-listed companies by value, domestic institutions 19.1%, and mutual funds alone 11.6%. Promoters still hold 50.2%, so about half the market's value rarely changes hands.
Written for anyone asking whether foreign or domestic money sets prices, and how much of the market is free to trade. Data to Jun 2026.
The highest reading since the series began in 2009. Up from −6.4 pts a year ago.
What it is. Mutual funds' share of the market minus foreign investors' share, in percentage points.
How to read it. Negative means foreign investors still own more. The closer to zero, the more domestic funds have caught up.
Each group's share of the total market value of NSE-listed companies at the latest quarter end. Quarterly since June 2009.

Shares move through buying and selling and through how each group's holdings perform, so a falling share can mean either. PRIME restated foreign holdings from its June 2023 report onward; read small steps around then with that in mind.
Share of total market value held, quarterly. Domestic institutions overtook FIIs in March 2025.
How to read it. Follow where the domestic line crosses the foreign one. Switch to the Nifty 500 or Nifty 200 to see the larger companies alone.

Promoters are founders, parent companies and the government where it controls a company. Individuals are split by holding size. LIC is the single largest domestic institution and sits inside insurers.
Share by value.

Indirect ownership through mutual funds is shown above.
How to read it. These are shares people hold in their own demat accounts. Money they hold through funds is counted under mutual funds.

LIC is counted inside insurance companies.
How to read it. The gap between the lines is every insurer other than LIC.

The same holdings as quarter-end market values. These grow with the market, so they rise for every group in a rally; the shares above are the fairer comparison between groups.
Quarter-end market value of each group's holdings.
How to read it. Read the distance between lines, not the slope: the slope is mostly the market.

How each group spreads its holdings across industries. Each column adds up to 100, so a number shows how much of that group's own money is in that industry, not how much of the industry it owns.

A promoter who pledges shares has borrowed against them, and a sharp fall in the price can bring margin calls and forced sales. In the quarter to Sept 2026, promoters of 2 of the 8 companies NSE has a current record for had pledged or otherwise encumbered part of their holding. At NSE's prices that is worth ₹550 cr, for the 2 companies it values. At 0 companies it was half the stake or more. NSE keeps only the latest quarter, so this record starts with our first capture on 6 Oct 2026 and a history builds from here.
