The corpus for your retirement would depend on your living expenses.
You have not chosen the best performing schemes. Also, you need to cut down on the number of funds in your portfolio.you do not need more than one or two schemes from each equity mutual fund category like large cap /multi cap/ Index, and mid cap. You can also add a short-term debt fund to your portfolio.
Some of the funds in your portfolio have exposure to NBFCs- DHFL Hazaribagh, etc. Hence, you need to be careful. I would recommend you to hire a financial planner for the personalised advice.
