Rasmic Ojha, executive vice-president, basic research, Kotak Securities, said that FPIs are withdrawing due to rising cases of COVID and a fall in the rupee against the dollar. He said, “Surprising all at the monetary review meeting, the Reserve Bank announced the purchase of government securities (G-Sec) worth Rs 1 lakh crore in the first quarter of the current financial year.
