Mumbai, April 13 (IANS). Assets under management (AUM) of the Indian mutual fund industry have increased by 12.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 73.73 lakh crore in FY26. During this period, the total asset base of the industry has increased by Rs 8 lakh crore. This information was given in the data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).

SIP inflow in March was Rs 32,087 crore, which was Rs 29,845 crore in the previous month. This shows that retail investors are investing with a long-term perspective amid market volatility.
Analysts said this surge in equity inflows was due to year-end portfolio allocations, investments at low valuations in the recent fall following tensions in West Asia.
