India’s Mutual Fund AUM Climbs to ₹75.6 Lakh Crore Despite Heavy Debt Outflows

Mutual fund industry assets under management advanced to ₹75.61 lakh crore, extending a 55-month growth streak powered by retail SIP inflows and passive sector funds. Equity inflows offset ₹1 lakh crore institutional withdrawals from debt categories. Analysts attributed sustained participation to improved investor education, simplified onboarding, and low fixed-income yields. Index and thematic products attracted fresh capital, while corporate treasuries trimmed duration exposure ahead of potential rate cuts. The momentum underscores India’s transition toward broader retail-led financialization, though short-term volatility persists in hybrid and debt categories.
