AMFI Data: Mutual fund SIP inflows drop 4% to Rs 29,845 crore in February

The monthly mutual fund SIP inflows declined by 4% on a monthly basis to Rs 29,845 crore in February against Rs 31,002 crore in January. The SIP inflows in February saw a drop after remaining above Rs 30,000 crore for two consecutive months.

It is worth noting that SIP collections in February were marginally impacted by the shorter month, as installments scheduled for the 29th, 30th and 31st typically get processed in early March, which can slightly defer a portion of contributions into the following month.

SIF assets stood at Rs 9,711 crore in February 2026, marking a 47.9% on-month rise. The category witnessed the highest monthly inflow of Rs 3,127 crore during the month driven by equity and hybrid investment strategies.

“February’s data reflects the continued stability and resilience of the mutual fund industry, with assets under management rising to Rs 82.03 lakh crore. Equity funds recorded net inflows of Rs 25,977 crore during the month, marking the 60th consecutive month of positive inflows. This sustained momentum reflects growing investor participation despite intermittent market volatility, with market sentiment supported by robust quarterly corporate earnings and continued inflows from both domestic and foreign institutional investors,” said Venkat Chalasani.

He further said that SIP contributions stood at Rs 29,845 crore, underscoring investors’ continued confidence in systematic and disciplined investing. The marginal moderation compared to recent months is primarily due to February being a shorter month, with some end-of-month SIP installments typically getting processed in early March.

“Our unwavering focus remains on deepening investor awareness and empowering savers across the country to participate in long-term wealth creation through mutual funds,” he added.

The overall AUM has crossed 82000 Crs, a testament to the deepening of financialization of Indian savings. Despite February having fewer days which slightly impacted the SIP, the underlying sentiment remains robust with folio growth, said Vaibhav Chugh, CEO, Abakkus Mutual Fund
