Indian mutual-fund AUM tops ₹75.6 lakh crore as equity funds drive growth
Indian mutual-fund AUM climbs to ₹75.
India’s mutual-fund industry has hit a new milestone with Assets Under Management (AUM) reaching ₹75.61 lakh crore in September 2025, up 12.7 % year-on-year, according to a report from Franklin Templeton Investments.
The surge was driven largely by equity funds gaining traction among retail and institutional investors. Domestic mutual-funds also increased their holdings in listed firms, while foreign-portfolio-investor (FPI) ownership hit a 13-year low in several domestic companies.
The trend underscores the growing importance of mutual-funds in India’s capital-markets ecosystem and sets the stage for deeper participation outside metro areas.
