The number of FIIs in India is increasing every month, clearly reflecting that those who missed the bus earlier are willing to take a fresh ride.
The strong market system is also facilitating the inflows. Last year, the market dived by 1,200 points as the rupee went soft against the dollar and there was speculation that intelligence agencies had been roped in and a mega investigation was on.
