Equity MF net inflows dip to one-year low at ₹19,013 crore
Mumbai Net inflows into large cap mutual fund schemes halved to ₹1,250.4 crore in May, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). Mid cap schemes dipped 15.25% to ₹2,808.7 crore, while net inflows into small cap funds fell 20% to ₹3,214 crore in May 2025. The reduced inflows coincided with a three-month low monthly return in Nifty 50. The index was up just 1.7% by the end of May. This was 3.5% in April and 6.4% in March. This cooling down of returns comes at a time of increased volatility owing to tariff announcements and tensions between India and Pakistan, which may have created caution among investors, according to industry experts. 'Equity inflows moderated to ₹19,013 crore this month, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amidst market volatility,' said Venkat Chalasani, CEO, AMFI. SIPs remain flat Systematic Investment Plans' (SIP) contribution stayed more or less flat at ₹26,688 crore in May 2025. The number of contributing SIP accounts too stayed at 8.6 crore in May.

The company's stock price is up 56.5 per cent in the last two years, compared to 30.8 per cent rally in the benchmark Nifty 50 during the period. The stock has also outperformed in the recent rally and is up 10.7 per cent since the start of 2025 calendar year, compared to 6.2 per cent rise in the benchmark index in the period.
