What is DII?
Also called: Domestic institutional investor
Hinglish mein padhein: DII kya hota hai?
Domestic institutional investors are Indian institutions such as mutual funds, insurers, banks and pension funds that invest in the market.
Steady SIP inflows into mutual funds have made DIIs a major buyer, often cushioning the market when foreign investors sell.
Exchanges publish provisional FII and DII net buying figures after market hours each day.
