New data released in early November 2025 by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) shows that monthly SIP contributions in October reached a record ₹29,529 crore, up marginally from September, while equity‑oriented net inflows fell 19% to ₹24,690 crore. The overall mutual fund AUM rose to about ₹79.87 lakh crore. Analysts commented that while retail systematic investments remain strong, slower lump‑sum equity flows reflect cautious sentiment amid valuation and macro‑risks.
