The CNBC TV18 article reports that Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) contributions in India reached an all-time high of ₹26,688 crore in May 2025, according to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This marks a slight increase from ₹26,632 crore in April 2025.
The number of active SIP accounts also rose to 8.56 crore in May, up from 8.38 crore in April, with 18 lakh new accounts added during the month. Despite a cleanup of 95 lakh to 1 crore inactive accounts in April, investor interest in SIPs remains strong, reflecting growing financial discipline among Indian investors.
The mutual fund industry’s total assets under management (AUM) hit a record ₹70.5 lakh crore in May, up from ₹70 lakh crore in April. However, net equity inflows dropped to ₹19,420 crore in May, a 22% decline from ₹25,017 crore in March, indicating some investor caution amid market volatility.
SIP AUM specifically stood at ₹14.03 lakh crore in May, compared to ₹13.35 lakh crore in March. The article highlights the popularity of SIPs among retail investors, particularly younger ones under 35, as a disciplined, long-term wealth creation tool, with platforms like Groww contributing significantly to new SIP registrations.
The sustained SIP inflows suggest confidence in mutual funds, but the drop in equity inflows could signal underlying concerns about market valuations or economic uncertainties not fully addressed in the data.
