<li>Since October, FIIs have sold US$24.2 bn Indian stocks. DIIs have bought US$36bn. The market has been supported by the latter, benefitting from steady SIPs - now at US$3bn monthly.</li>
<li>India households' historical under-ownership of equities and the steady decline in interest rates and returns from property turned domestic investors towards equity. With Indian equities declining steadily, that could change.</li>
<li>Looking at DIIs' sector-wise ownership, we think if domestic MFs are forced to sell, then industrials, consumer discretionary, materials and to a lesser extent, financials could be at risk.</li>
