High valuation in India  is unlikely to impact  the market

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said," Even though high valuation in India is a matter of concern, it is unlikely to impact the market much in the near-term. Cheap valuation in China is not attracting foreign investors. Sustained buying by DIIs (Rs 21700 crores in February so far) supported by HNIs and retail investors has completely eclipsed the FII selling. FIIs have lost in this tug of war with DIIs since the market has been scaling new highs despite FII selling.”
