India’s mutual fund industry is projected to cross ₹300 lakh crore in AUM by FY2035, up from ₹41 lakh crore currently, driven by sustained SIP inflows and wider investor participation. Long-term holdings beyond five years have doubled to 16% of total AUM. Equity inflows remained resilient with flexicap schemes alone receiving ₹8,929 crore , reflecting continued retail confidence despite interim market volatility.
