Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) invested Rs 545 crore in the equity market. FIIs also bought debt securities worth Rs 8,155 crore and sold bonds worth Rs 4,609 crore till January 10, 2014, resulting in a net inflow of Rs 3,546 crore, as per data provided by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Their total investment in debt and equity was about Rs 4,091 crore. FIIs inflow in debt market is returning on account of some stability observed in foreign exchange and interest rates, according to market experts.
