Questions about FII and DII flows

What is the difference between FII and DII?

FII, now called FPI, means foreign portfolio investors; DII means domestic institutions such as mutual funds, insurers and pension funds.

Where is FII and DII data published?

NSE publishes provisional cash market figures after the close; NSDL publishes FPI figures by date and asset class. The guide links both.

What is participant wise OI?

NSE data that splits open interest in futures and options by client, DII, FII and proprietary traders. The question page shows how to read the long short ratio.

Do daily flows predict the market?

Not reliably on their own. The Tanmay Edge podcast graded every call it made against NSE settlement; the track record shows the outcome.
