Equity Mutual Fund Inflows Dip 5% in April; Debt Funds See Sharp Rebound

Equity mutual fund inflows in India declined 5% month-on-month to Rs 38,440 crore in April 2026, while systematic investment plan (SIP) inflows eased 3% to Rs 31,115 crore after a record high in March. Despite the monthly dip, equity inflows rose 58% year-on-year. Flexi cap, small cap, and mid cap funds saw notable inflows, whereas ELSS and dividend yield funds experienced outflows. Debt funds rebounded sharply with inflows of Rs 2.47 lakh crore, reversing March's large outflows, led by liquid and overnight funds, contributing to overall positive mutual fund inflows in April.
