Equity-Fund Flows Decline While SIPs Stay Resilient in India
In October, India’s equity mutual funds recorded inflows of ₹24,690 crore, marking a 19 % decline from the previous year amid cautious investor sentiment and volatile markets. In contrast, SIP contributions rose to ₹29,529 crore, indicating consistent long-term retail engagement. Meanwhile, debt schemes gathered about ₹1.6 lakh crore, signalling a shift toward liquid and overnight instruments.
