In a testament to the growing confidence among Indian investors, Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) contributions in mutual funds soared to an all-time high of Rs 19,271 crore in March.

Retail mutual fund folios, which include Equity, Hybrid, and Solution Oriented Schemes, recorded significant growth, totaling 14,24,42,823 for the month.

He highlighted the record asset gain of approximately Rs 14 lakh crore in FY24, marking a 35% rise, which is the highest since FY21.

As the fiscal year draws to a close, the mutual fund industry's steady growth and lasting significance are evident. The record-high SIP contributions, coupled with continuous positive equity inflows and growing mutual fund folios, reflect the increasing trust and confidence of investors in mutual funds as a reliable avenue for wealth creation and financial stability.
