Debt Mutual Funds See Rs 8,127 Crore Outflow in August Amid Investor Caution
Debt mutual funds experienced a net outflow of Rs 8,127 crore in August 2026, reversing the Rs 1.87 lakh crore inflow seen in July. The outflows were mainly driven by a Rs 30,654 crore redemption from overnight funds, amid investor caution over inflation, energy prices, and RBI policy expectations. While six of 17 debt fund categories saw inflows, liquid and money market funds attracted Rs 19,934 crore and Rs 11,734 crore respectively, reflecting a preference for liquidity and shorter-duration strategies.
