India's Household Savings Shift Toward Market-Linked Instruments Amid Low Mutual Fund Penetration
India's household savings are increasingly shifting from traditional bank deposits to market-linked instruments like pension funds, mutual funds, shares, and debentures, which now account for 39% of financial savings compared to 33% for bank deposits in FY25. Despite this growth, 68% of household wealth remains in physical assets. Mutual fund penetration in India remains low relative to GDP compared to developed countries, highlighting significant growth potential, especially with rising incomes and expanding access in smaller cities.
