Equity Mutual Fund Inflows Decline 9% in September to ₹30,421 Crore; Debt Segment Sees Heavy Withdrawals

New Delhi, October 10: The net inflows into the equity mutual funds moderated in the second month of September, decreasing by 9% to ₹30,421 crore, according to the latest data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). In August, the net inflows were ₹33,430 crore as compared to ₹42,702 crore in July.

September was the 55th consecutive month of net inflows to equity schemes, as retail investor interest in the markets remains evident despite the market volatility.

Category-wise Trends

Among the equity-oriented funds, Flexi Cap Funds topped the charts with inflows of ₹7,029 crore, followed by Mid Cap Funds with ₹5,085 crore and Small Cap Funds with ₹4,363 crore. The Large Cap Funds also witnessed healthy inflows of ₹2,319 crore in the month.

Sharp Outflows from Debt Funds

Contrasting the equity trend, the debt mutual fund category witnessed a massive outflow of ₹1.02 lakh crore in September, reversing from a withdrawal of ₹7,980 crore in August. The large exodus from debt funds significantly impacted overall industry flows.

Industry Overview

The mutual fund industry recorded a net outflow of ₹43,146 crore in September, compared with a net inflow of ₹52,443 crore in August.

Despite the withdrawals, the industry’s assets under management (AUM) inched higher to ₹75.61 lakh crore at the end of September from ₹75.12 lakh crore a month earlier, supported by market gains.

The consistent equity inflows underscore continued retail participation, even as short-term liquidity movements in debt categories drive overall fund flow volatility.
