Target: Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Ministry of Finance, Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
Goal: We urge the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Ministry of Finance, and relevant regulatory bodies to implement measures that protect Indian markets from excessive foreign-driven volatility, ensure transparency, and prioritize the needs of
In August 2025 alone, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have withdrawn over Rs 24,000 crore from Indian equities, following even larger outflows in July. While domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have stepped in to stabilize the market, this trend underscores the vulnerability of India's financial system to global capital movements and geopolitical tensions.
Recent upgrades in India's sovereign rating and positive economic indicators are welcome, but they must translate into tangible benefits for ordinary investors and the broader public. The influence of international events, such as the ongoing U.S.-Russia-Ukraine negotiations and fluctuating oil prices, further highlights the need for robust regulatory oversight and policies that prioritize domestic economic resilience.
We call on regulators and policymakers to take decisive action to:
- Strengthen safeguards against speculative capital flows that destabilize markets.
- Enhance transparency and accountability in institutional trading activity.
- Promote financial inclusion and protect the interests of retail investors.
- Ensure that market gains benefit the wider population, not just large investors and corporations.
By acting now, India can build a more just, stable, and inclusive financial system that serves the needs of all its people.
Key Demands
- Implement stronger capital controls or circuit breakers to curb excessive volatility from foreign portfolio outflows.
- Increase transparency requirements for large institutional trades and foreign investment activity.
- Expand protections and education for retail investors to reduce the risk of losses from market swings.
- Promote policies that direct market gains toward public welfare, including increased social investment from corporate profits.
- Establish a public oversight committee including civil society representatives to monitor the impact of foreign capital flows.
