Indian SIP Accounts Grow Amid Market Volatility and Increased Contributions
Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) have become a popular investment method in India, promoting consistent investing and rupee cost averaging across various asset classes. Monthly SIP contributions surpassed ₹20,000 crore in 2024, with over 8 crore SIP accounts reported. After a period of stagnation in early 2026 due to market volatility and increased SIP discontinuations, contributing SIP accounts rose by 1.2 million in July, reflecting renewed investor participation despite recent market declines.
