Citing reasons for investment in November, Arjun Yash Mahajan, head-institutional business, Reliance Securities said, "Indian markets continue to outperform and have continued to offer FPIs better risk reward propositions in terms of corporate earnings recovery and reform measures undertaken by the government to revive investment activities in the country."

Additionally, weaker dollar index and absence of quality value play at reasonable valuations in FPIs' home markets have further given them reason to move allocation to emerging markets like India, Mahajan added.

Going forward, FPIs are expected to remain optimistic on Indian markets, market experts said.

They are advised to bet on sectors which are resilient from prolonged economic downturn, said Mahajan.

"Agriculture in form of auto exposure, pharma, IT, select private banks are attractive sectors to continue to keep on the radar," he further said.
