May saw heightened volatility in Indian markets as FIIs offloaded Rs 75.7 billion last week and cumulative outflows touched Rs 322.3 billion. Strong DII buying of Rs 568.7 billion helped cushion the impact amid US-Iran tensions, weak rupee movement and elevated crude oil prices.

Amid the continuing global concerns, FIIs this week continued their selling streak in Indian equities last week, offloading shares worth Rs 75.7 billion, according to provisional exchange data.
