Foreign Institutional Investors offloaded equities worth Rs 2,104 crores while Domestic Institutional Investors infused Rs 1,712 crores to buy equities on Tuesday.

Asian markets opened on a firm note, with the Nikkei up 1.03% at 60,531.8, Hang Seng rose 0.52% at 25,814.4, TAIEX advanced 0.54% at 39,176.2 and KOSPI gained 0.23% at 6,619.0. UAE leaving the OPEC was a key driver of opening trades across the region.

On April 28 (Tuesday), Indian equities closed on a risk-off note, with Nifty slipping below 24,000 and Sensex ending lower, dragged largely by financials. Bank Nifty was the key laggard, down 1.54%, as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank declined amid weak sentiment and profit-taking after the recent run-up, while PSU banks also saw sharp selling pressure. The broader tone remained cautious with limited buying interest, though oil & gas and metals offered some support, slightly cushioning the downside.
