FIIs make Rs 4,500 crore bet on auto stocks before GST cut fuels showroom rush from Monday

The GST Council's decision to slash tax rates across auto segments, coupled with seasonal tailwinds, has fueled this surge. While autos, metals, capital goods, and financials saw inflows, consumer services, IT, and real estate experienced outflows.
