India's Mutual Fund Inflows Rise in October Led by Debt Funds; Equity Flows Moderate
India's mutual fund industry saw net inflows of around Rs 1.74 lakh crore in October 2026, reversing September's outflows. Debt funds led the recovery with inflows exceeding Rs 1.13 lakh crore, while equity mutual fund inflows declined nearly 14 percent month-on-month to about Rs 33,000 crore. Large- and mid-cap equity funds attracted the highest inflows, nearly doubling to Rs 8,484 crore, whereas small- and mid-cap funds saw significant declines. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) contributions remained steady near Rs 32,160 crore despite a slight dip. Market volatility and profit booking influenced these trends amid positive economic indicators.
