Indian mutual funds see debt-fund dominance as equity inflows moderate in October
In October 2025 Indian mutual fund data show a clear pivot: net inflows hit approximately ₹2,15,657 crore, with debt-oriented schemes dominating at ~₹1,59,958 crore, while equity fund inflows remained modest at ~₹24,690 crore. Investors appear favouring safer shorter-duration instruments as rate uncertainty persists across monetary policy cycles. Meanwhile, industry AUM continues to reach record highs, signalling durable investor participation but an increasingly cautious allocation towards risk assets.
Fund houses are highlighting the shift as temporary, but the trend underlines changing risk appetites amid inflation and global headwinds.
