India’s mutual fund industry saw strong retail participation in July 2025, with Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) inflows touching an all-time high of ₹28,464 crore. This marks a 4% rise from ₹27,269 crore in June.
The number of new SIPs registered in July stood at 68.69 lakh, a significant jump from 61.91 lakh in June and 59.14 lakh in May. This steady rise over three consecutive months signals growing awareness about the benefits of systematic investing and the preference for a staggered investment approach during uncertain times.
Retail mutual fund folios across Equity, Hybrid, and Solution Oriented Schemes rose to 19.42 crore in July 2025 from 19.07 crore in June. The retail Assets Under Management (AUM) stood at ₹43.90 lakh crore in July, compared to ₹43.99 lakh crore in May. While the retail AUM saw a marginal dip, the increase in folio count indicates broad-based participation from small investors.
SIP AUM in July 2025 was at ₹15.19 lakh crore, slightly lower than ₹15.30 lakh crore in June. However, the number of contributing SIP accounts grew by 5.4%, rising from 8.64 crore in June to 9.11 crore in July.
Equity mutual funds recorded their highest-ever monthly inflow of ₹42,702 crore in July, aided by strong domestic institutional investor (DII) support. Overall, mutual fund folios reached 24.57 crore in July, up from 24.13 crore in June. The industry’s Average AUM (AAUM) for the month stood at ₹77 lakh crore, while total AUM rose 1.3% to ₹75.36 lakh crore.
“The total Assets under Management grew by 1.3% to Rs 75.36 Lakh Crores, despite pressures from a strong US Dollar and persistent foreign fund outflows. This is a testament to sustained investor confidence and disciplined participation,” said Venkat N Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI.
