DII
Domestic Institutional Investors include Indian mutual funds, insurers, banks, and similar local institutions.
DII buying or selling is reported alongside FII activity in daily exchange-linked flow summaries.
Mutual fund SIP flows are a major structural source of DII demand in Indian equities.
DIIs can offset foreign selling during risk-off phases, though this is not automatic.
Insurance and pension money are important long-horizon components of DII ownership.
