Equity Mutual Fund Inflows Decline 14% in October; Debt Funds See Strong Recovery
Equity mutual fund inflows in India declined nearly 14% month-on-month to around Rs 33,000 crore in October 2026, continuing a moderation trend despite positive inflows. Large and mid-cap funds saw increased investments, with large mid-cap funds nearly doubling inflows, while small-cap and mid-cap funds experienced notable declines. Debt mutual funds led a strong recovery with inflows exceeding Rs 1.13 lakh crore, reversing September's outflows. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) contributions remained near record highs, reflecting sustained investor participation amid market volatility.
