Indian investors were relieved in June 2026, as they returned to making their monthly investments into mutual funds through systematic investment plans.
According to the Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI), Indians invested ₹28,973 crore into equity based mutual fund schemes in June 2026, which is 26.5% more than the ₹22,907 crore in the previous month. The net inflows in the reporting month, comes after it fell 40.4% in May 2026, suggesting negative investor sentiment. Investors have contributed more than the median investment of ₹27476 crore in 2026 so far.
The number of outstanding systematic investment plan accounts increased to 10.5 crore for the first time after four months of staying around the territory of 10.4 crore accounts. The increase came in a fall in discontinued accounts to 50.6 lakh , from over 51 lakh accounts in May 2026. The contributing SIPs increased to 9.7 crore constituting 93% of the outstanding SIP accounts in the current month. In May 2026, just about 9.6 crore accounts contributed for their SIPs, making them a slightly lower share of 92% of all outstanding accounts. Investors contributed ₹31,781 crore into SIPs in June 2026, up from ₹30,954 crore in the month before.
The renewed enthusiasm in investing in mutual funds can be seen with the background of increasing campaign by mutual fund companies, their fund managers, and personal finance experts alike to continue buying more units and top up their SIPs as buy at a low can help them harvest more in the long term.
“The rebound indicates that investor confidence remains resilient despite ongoing global uncertainties and periodic market volatility. Improved market sentiment, expectations of supportive domestic macroeconomic conditions, and continued strength in retail participation helped support flows during the month” said Nehal Meshram, senior analyst, Morningstar Investment Research India.
