Despite market volatility, global funds maintain a consistent interest in leading Indian firms across consumer goods, electronics, and metals sectors, signalling sustained confidence in their growth and stability.
Foreign institutional investors continue to back a select group of Indian companies even as markets remain uneven, a sign that global funds still see durability in businesses with strong brands, scale and earnings visibility. Recent shareholding data from Moneycontrol shows that some of the country’s best-known names still have sizeable foreign ownership, spanning consumer goods, electronics manufacturing and metals.
Britannia Industries remains one of the more closely watched consumer stocks, with foreign institutions holding about 13.4% of the company. Moneycontrol puts its market capitalisation at roughly ₹1.3 trillion and its share price at ₹5,514.80 as of July 28, 2026. The biscuits-and-dairy maker has long benefited from its broad distribution network and entrenched brand portfolio, which continue to make it a staple in many institutional portfolios.
Marico also stands out for its foreign backing. According to Moneycontrol, FIIs own about 23.4% of the company, which had a market value of about ₹1.12 trillion and a share price of ₹883.25 on July 28, 2026. Known for brands such as Parachute and Saffola, Marico has built a reputation for steady execution in packaged consumer goods, helped by a strong presence in both domestic and overseas markets.
Among industrial names, Dixon Technologies has drawn significant interest for its role in electronics manufacturing services. Moneycontrol’s latest figures show FII ownership at 17.87%, with the company valued at about ₹86,577 crore and its shares at ₹14,577 on July 28, 2026. The company has benefited from policy support for local manufacturing and partnerships with global brands, which have helped expand its production capacity.
National Aluminium Company, or NALCO, is another stock with notable foreign participation. Moneycontrol says FIIs held around 22% of the PSU as of July 28, 2026, when its market capitalisation stood at about ₹70,287 crore and the share price was ₹383. The company’s integrated operations, from bauxite mining to aluminium smelting and power generation, give it a strong position in India’s non-ferrous metals sector.
ITC has the highest FII holding among the names highlighted, at about 34.2%, according to Moneycontrol. The conglomerate’s market value was roughly ₹3.54 trillion and its share price ₹282 on July 28, 2026. Best known for cigarettes, ITC has also been building its non-cigarette FMCG business, alongside interests in hotels, paperboards, packaging and agri-business, giving it a broader footprint than many of its peers.
